The answer to the question is Continental deflection. The Gulf Stream Current is deflected by North America, causing the current to change direction. This concept is referred as the Continental deflection. It occurs when a continent deflects the movement of a current (water or air). Continental deflection can either be: Defelction by rotation and continental position --->North Atlantic as an example Deflection of equatorial currents by South America
You probably have heard of one of these large currents, thoughâthe Gulf Streamâwhen you listen to weather reports. The Gulf Stream is a key player in global ocean circulation. It carries warm water from the Caribbean along the eastern coast of America and then across to Europe, warming climate in those areas. But global ocean circulation doesn't just happen on the surface. Deeper down in the ocean, too far below for me to feel it up here on deck, water is moving too.
