The Atlantic Ocean
What else can I help you with?
What best describes the movement of the Gulf Stream?
what describes the flow of water in the gulf stream
Where does the gulf stream flow into?
The Atlantic Ocean
Does the gulf stream always flow in the same direction?
yes
Why do you think the gulf stream flow does not flow down to the southern hemisphere?
because it doesn't
Where does gulf stream flow from and to?
The Gulf Stream flows from the Gulf of Mexico northward along the eastern coast of the United States before crossing the Atlantic Ocean towards western Europe. Its warm waters have a significant impact on the climate of both regions.
What continent does the Gulf stream flow along the eastern coast?
North America
Does the gulf stream carries warm water northward?
Yes, at the surface but the full Gulf Stream is a cycle. It includes a flow of cold water in the opposite direction and which travels at depth.
What continent does the gulf stream flow north along the eastern coast?
North America
Does the gulf stream flow over the continental shelf or the continental slope?
continental shelf
What carries a warm flow of water from near the equator to the british isles?
The Gulf Stream.
Does salt make the gulf stream flow?
Salt itself does not directly cause the Gulf Stream to flow, but it plays a crucial role in ocean circulation. The Gulf Stream is driven by a combination of wind patterns, the Earth's rotation, and differences in water density, which are influenced by salinity and temperature. Higher salinity increases water density, contributing to the thermohaline circulation that helps maintain ocean currents like the Gulf Stream. Therefore, while salt is not the sole factor, it significantly impacts the overall dynamics of ocean flow.
Why doesn't the Gulf Stream current flow down into the southern hemisphere?
Because the cold water at the bottom of the ocean flows south, which pulls the warmer surface layers of the Gulf Stream north.
