What is the difference between the Gulf Stream and the Jet Stream?

The Gulf Stream is a powerful, warm, and swift Atlantic ocean current that originates at the tip of Florida, and flows around the world acting as a 'conveyor belt' of warm water along the ocean surface. A jet stream however is defined as a current of rapidly moving air that is usually several thousand miles long and wide, but is relatively thin. They are found in the upper levels of Earth's atmosphere at the tropopause - the boundary between the troposphere and stratosphere. Both are hugely important in the Earth's climate.
