The word swastika comes from the Sanskrit svastika - su meaning good, asti meaning to be, and ka as a suffix. Until the Nazis used this symbol, the swastika was used by many cultures throughout the past 3,000 years to represent life, sun, power, strength, and good luck.
The Gulf Stream is a river in the deep sea, straits of Florida, in the Atlantic Ocean that is formed by warm currents leaving the Gulf of Mexico and squeezed between Cuba and the Florida keys. This Current builds amazing speed east of the keys about 20 miles off shore and runs North.
How does the Gulf Stream affect UK weather? The Gulf Stream brings warmth to the UK and north-west Europe and is the reason the UK has fairly mild winters. Without this warm North Atlantic Drift, the UK and other places in Europe could be as cold as Canada - and up to 5 Â°C cooler.
