Correct Answer:
A. North Atlantic Ocean
Correct answer: North Atlantic Ocean. The Gulf Stream is a warm current in the North Atlantic that flows from the Gulf of Mexico along the US east coast toward Europe.
Background: It helps keep the climate of Western Europe milder than other places at the same latitude.
- Arctic Ocean: The Arctic Ocean is a different ocean.
- Southern Ocean: The Southern Ocean surrounds Antarctica.
- Pacific Ocean: The Pacific has other currents, such as the Kuroshio.
Did you know? It carries about 100 times more water than all the world’s rivers combined.
Memory trick: Gulf Stream → North Atlantic.
