The Gulf Stream is primarily caused by a combination of wind patterns and the Earth's rotation. The prevailing westerly winds push surface water westward, while the Coriolis effect, due to the Earth's rotation, causes the water to veer to the right in the Northern Hemisphere, creating a strong current that flows northward along the eastern coast of North America. Additionally, differences in water temperature and salinity contribute to the current's strength and direction. This complex interplay results in the Gulf Stream's significant role in regulating climate and oceanic circulation.
