the gulf stream is a major ocean current. Where does the current travel, and how does it affect climate conditions in Europe?

Sergio [31]

Answer:

The Gulf Stream is an intense, warm ocean current in the western North Atlantic Ocean.

Since the Gulf Stream also extends toward Europe, it warms western European countries as well. In fact, England is about the same distance from the equator as cold regions of Canada, yet England enjoys a much warmer climate. If it weren't for the warm water of the Gulf Stream, England would have a much colder climate.
