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.
