Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The North Atlantic Current and the Gulf Stream are two major ocean currents that flow towards Europe, with the Gulf Stream being a branch of the North Atlantic Current. The warm water picked up by these currents helps to moderate the climate in areas they pass through, including London. The Labrador Current, on the other hand, flows southward along the coast of Newfoundland towards the eastern seaboard of North America and brings cold water down from the Arctic. Therefore, options C, D, and E are incorrect. Option B is incorrect as it lists the Gulf Stream first, which is a branch of the North Atlantic Current.
