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
The Gulf Stream, also known as the North Atlantic Drift, is a warm current which flows across the Atlantic Ocean from the warmer seas of the Caribbean and makes West-European countries considerably warmer than they would be otherwise. The Gulf Stream is the main ocean current that affects Britain and warms it by 5-8C. The Gulf of Mexico has higher air temperatures than Britain, as it's closer to the equator. This means that the air coming from the Gulf of Mexico to Britain is also warm. However, the air is also quite moist as it travels over the Atlantic Ocean.
