Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The Gulf Stream is a warm ocean current that originates in the Gulf of Mexico and flows northeastward along the eastern coast of the United States and Canada before crossing the Atlantic to warm western Europe. This current helps regulate temperatures and weather patterns in the region, causing Great Britain to have warmer winter temperatures than other areas at similar latitudes like Newfoundland and Labrador.
