The Gulf Wind, or Gulf Stream, is primarily caused by the combination of warm water from the Gulf of Mexico and the influence of the Earth's rotation (Coriolis effect). As warm water moves northward along the eastern coast of the United States, it creates a current that is driven by differences in water temperature and salinity. Wind patterns, particularly the trade winds and prevailing westerlies, also contribute to the movement of the Gulf Stream. This warm current significantly impacts the climate of the regions it flows past, bringing milder temperatures to northern areas.

How can wind the erode materials?
Wind causes erosion by deflation and abrasion. Deflation is the process by which wind removes surface materials.
How does the wind bring humidity from the Gulf Of Mexico?
The wind brings humidity to the gulf of Mexico because the water vapor from the gulf's water is carried by the wind to the coast and makes the shores of the gulf of Mexico get humid
