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.
What is the Gulf Stream? The Gulf Stream is one of the strongest and most important ocean currents in the world. Driven by water density and wind patterns, the Gulf Stream currents move warm water in the Atlantic Ocean from the Caribbean Sea northeast to northern Europe and the British Isles. Surface water in the north Atlantic is cooled by winds from the Arctic, making it more salty. Water without a high level of salt in it does not drop easily to the ocean depths, which is what usually happens to the Gulf Stream to the north of Iceland. This is where the current plunges to the ocean floor before returning to the tropics and then towards the Antarctic Ocean. As the cold water travels towards the equator it warms slowly.
