Why do you think the Gulf Stream current does not flow down into the Southern Hemisphere?
The Gulf Stream current primarily flows in the Northern Hemisphere due to the Earth's rotation and the Coriolis effect, which causes moving water to veer to the right in the Northern Hemisphere. Additionally, the Atlantic Ocean's geography, including the presence of landmasses like North America and the Caribbean, channels the current northward. The contrast in temperature and salinity between the warmer waters of the Gulf Stream and the cooler waters of the Southern Hemisphere also creates a natural barrier that prevents the current from flowing southward.
