Which two ocean currents are both warm currents that primarily flow away from the equator?
The Gulf Stream and the Kuroshio Current are both warm ocean currents that primarily flow away from the equator. The Gulf Stream flows from the Gulf of Mexico across the North Atlantic Ocean, while the Kuroshio Current flows along the eastern coast of Japan.
What is the location and flow of the Gulf Stream?
The Gulf Stream originates off the tip of Florida. It follows the eastern coatlines of the U,S.and Newfoundland before its northern extension, the North Atlantic Drift, moves towards Europe. It is a powerful and swift Atlantic Ocean current.
Which continent deflects the gulf stream current?
Europe deflects the Gulf Stream current as it flows towards the continent from the Gulf of Mexico.
Is the gulf stream cold or hot?
The Gulf Stream is a warm ocean current that originates in the Gulf of Mexico and flows to the North Atlantic Ocean. It helps to regulate and warm the climate of regions it passes through.
What type of Gulf Stream ring is found between the Gulf Stream and the coast of the US?
Cold-core rings are typically found between the Gulf Stream and the coast of the US. These rings are formed by the meandering and pinching off of colder water from the Gulf Stream, creating a distinct eddy of cooler water.
What best describes the movement of the Gulf Stream?

What carries a warm flow of water from near the equator to the british isles?

Does the gulf of Mexico flow into the Atlantic?
The gulf stream is a warm water surface current that flows from the Florida Keys up the east coast of the United States and Canada. It does not flow within the gulf of mexico itself.
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.
