Answer 2

Starting near the Equator, the Gulf Stream reaches the Eastern coast of America

Explanation:

• The ‘Gulf Stream’ is a warm, strong, and swift ocean current that drifts warm water from the ‘Gulf of Mexico’ to the Atlantic Ocean.
• En route, it divides into two major streams – Northern North Atlantic Drift, and the Southern Canary current.
• It is a circular current rotating clockwise and travels alongside the Eastern coast of North America through the Strait of Florida and parts of Canada.
• This warm current drifts warm water from equatorial region to the cold northern region and moderates summer and winter climate in Florida, England and other northern regions.
