The answer to the question is Continental deflection. The Gulf Stream Current is deflected by North America, causing the current to change direction. This concept is referred as the Continental deflection. It occurs when a continent deflects the movement of a current (water or air). Continental deflection can either be: Defelction by rotation and continental position --->North Atlantic as an example Deflection of equatorial currents by South America
The Gulf Stream, located along the eastern coast of the United States, is a fast, intense current known as a western-boundary current.These currents are located on the western side of every ocean basin. The Gulf Stream is a result of the wind pattern acting on most of the North Atlantic Ocean.The combination of the Trade Winds (10Â°- 25Â°N) blowing to the west and the Westerlies (35Â°- 55Â°N) blowing to the east cause the North Atlantic to rotate clockwise.long the east coast of Florida the current is fed by the Antilles Current, and the flow, now called the Gulf Stream, runs parallel to the coast until reaching Cape Hatteras where it leaves the coast and enters deeper water. While flowing in deep water the Stream often forms large meanders or flucuations in its path.
