How does global warming affect the gulf stream?

Answer 1

The Gulf stream would make Norway hotter.

Answer 2

Global warming can disrupt the Gulf Stream by melting polar ice caps and glaciers, adding more freshwater to the North Atlantic. This influx of freshwater can weaken the salinity levels in the region, potentially disrupting the flow of the Gulf Stream, which plays a crucial role in regulating global climate patterns.

Answer 3

The Gulf Stream is a large and powerful current that begins in the Gulf of Mexico. It brings along with it the warm temperatures of the Gulf. It actually runs its way up the eastern coast of the United States. It has the affect of making the island - nation of Bermuda a tropical place. It's strange in that it's only 600 miles southeast of New York City. The Gulf Stream has enough strength to arc over the North Atlantic Ocean and makes a climate impact as faraway as the British Isles.

Changes in the normal Gulf of Mexico temperatures will affect the climates of all the areas that it passes. Should the Gulf's temperature move lower or higher, the areas it now passes by and passes through will carry that change along with it.

Answer 4

The North Atlantic Drift and the Gulf Stream bring in warm weather/water from the Caribbean Sea. This then travels all the way up to not just the British Isles, but mostly Western Europe in general. While it does not seem like it makes Europe all that warm, it actually significantly increases the temperature of Europe. For other areas with the same latitude as Europe, they are much colder. For example, Norway's city of Brønnøysund is about 40 degrees C (104 degrees F) warmer than Yakutsk, an area of Russia.

These two Ocean currents keep the UK and western Europe from suffering the extremes of winter shared by those in the same northerly latitudes but not in the path of these warm currents

The gulf stream is an ocean current that flows from South America up the East Coast of the United States across the Atlantic and past the West Coast of Scotland. It affects the airflow and weather of vast areas because its direction is ever-changing temperature is warmer than the surrounding waters and this helps to keep the UK waters free from ice during the winter and the average temperature warmer in winter. It is inevitable that the weather in Scotland would be changed at some time by the gulf stream.

Answer 5

We don't know yet. The oceans are warming now, more slowly than the land, but they hold the heat longer. Scientists suggest that the warm oceans may change the direction, speed and temperature of the ocean currents. If the Gulf Stream changes it will mean much colder weather for Western Europe, especially the British Isles.

Answer 6

Climate often redistributes warm air to and from the Gulf Stream. This can increase wind and precipitation in the area.

Answer 7

The Gulf Stream makes the winters in the UK much milder than on the Continent.

Answer 8

it rises temperature and air pressure
