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.
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.
