Gulf Stream
The Gulf Steam carries warm tropical water off the east coast of
the US in a direct path toward Great Britain and the Scandinavian
countries, giving these regions a far warmer climate than, say, Alaska
which is at a comparable latitude. The Gulf Stream moves at a speed that in some
places exceeds 1.5 m/s.
