Why would the UK get colder if the gulf stream stopped flowing?

The Gulf Stream is a huge ocean current that brings warm water from equatorial waters near Florida. It keeps the countries of Western Europe much warmer than parts of Canada at similar latitudes, for example. If the Gulf Stream stopped flowing the UK would be much colder possibly even having some sea ice, as Canada does.

Is there a word for the small stream of water flowing southward down a mountain?
I know of no special name for southerly flowing streams. 'Draining in a southerly direction' would perhaps be a description.
How does the circulation of warm water affect climate of some coastal lands?
A warm ocean current (like the Gulf Stream warming Western Europe) can make the climate much milder than it would be without the warm current. Canada, at the same latitude as Britain, is very much colder because it has no Gulf Stream!
What will happen to the earth if there were no greenhouse gases?
Earth would be considerably colder.... actually a lot colder. I'm not sure how much colder but you can try to figure that out.
What would happen if a valve stopped working?
the valves of the heart prevent blood from flowing backwards, so if they are damaged the blood is allowed to flow backwards and then the oxygnated and deoxygnated blood get mixed. The person could get an artificial valve then.
What is a circuit called if its operating and the current is flowing?
This is called a closed circuit. If current was not flowing, it would be open.

Great Britain would have a much colder climate than it does if not for the?
gulf stream
How does the ocean conveyor belt help keep western Europe's climate warmer than it would be without the current?
The gulf stream - it carries warmth towards northern Europe.
What would happen if the gulf stream stopped?
we're all doomed
What is a channel where water is continuously flowing down hill?
A channel where water is continuously flowing down a hill would be described as a stream, or possibly a rivulet, depending on its size.
What are steadily flowing streams of water in the earths seas?
These streams are called Currents. An example would be The Gulf Stream.

How would weather in the western Europe be different if there were no Gulf stream?
It would be colder because water stores energy to give Western Europe more heat.
If the asthenosphere cooled and stopped flowing how would you expect the movement of tectonic plates in the lithosphere to change Tectonic plates would?
move less then 2cm a year
Average temperatures in Great Britain would be much colder if it were not for the?
The average temperatures in Great Britain would be much colder if not for the North Atlantic Drift. The North Atlantic Drift is part of the Gulf Stream, which brings warm air up from the Gulf of Mexico.
Will global warming make the earth colder or warmer?
Global warming would make the earth warmer. However, some parts, for example, Britain, may become colder for a while, especially if the Gulf Stream cools or slows.
Is a floating leaf said to be in motion with respect to a stream?
No. Assuming there are no eddies or crosscurrents, and it is not blown in a different direction by the wind, a leaf in a stream is being moved by the water, and would display little motion with respect to the water, as compared to its motion with respect to things not in the flowing stream.
