Deep in the Atlantic Ocean, there is a powerful system of moving water that can feel almost like a river within the sea. This is part of a larger circulation system called the Atlantic Meridional Overturning Circulation (AMOC), and one of its most well-known components is the Gulf Stream. It carries warm surface water from the Gulf of Mexico along the east coast of the United States and then across the Atlantic toward Europe. The Gulf Stream transports nearly 4 billion cubic feet of water per second, a flow greater than all of the world's rivers combined Unlike a river on land, it doesn’t have fixed banks. Instead, it is a broad, fast-moving current within the ocean, driven by wind patterns, temperature differences, and the Earth’s rotation. As it travels, it gradually spreads out and blends with surrounding waters, becoming part of a much larger global ocean circulation system. Even so, its impact is enormous. The Gulf Stream transports a huge amount of heat northwards, helping to influence weather and climate. In particular, it contributes to making Western Europe milder than other regions at similar latitudes. Rather than a single “hidden river,” it is better understood as a powerful, shifting current system, part of the ocean’s global conveyor belt, constantly moving heat and energy around the planet.

Donald Trump wanted to rename the Atlantic Ocean either 'Trump' or 'America' Ocean, but capitulated after speaking with Google CEO Sundar Pichai. "Oceans are different, sir. They cover really a lot of countries. Please don’t ask us to do that," Pichai reportedly said.

Trump: I called Google Maps to change the name of the Atlantic Ocean to Trump Ocean. Sundar said, “No, no, no. This time I'm not doing it.” He said, “Oceans are different, sir. They cover a lot of countries. Please don't ask us to do that.” So we'll probably pass. Let's keep it the Atlantic Ocean.

A suspected hantavirus outbreak on a cruise ship in the Atlantic Ocean has killed three people and sickened at least three others, the World Health Organization says:

One of the world's most isolated lighthouses stands on a tiny rock in the Atlantic Ocean Built in Iceland in 1939, Þrídrangaviti was constructed by climbers who scaled the dangerous rock face by hand

🇺🇸 Trump says he called Sundar and asked him to rename the Atlantic “American Ocean” and Hormuz “Trump Strait” He says he sent Google a picture of the Atlantic and told Sundar to change both names. "Sundar said, 'Sir, I can't do it anymore. I've had it. I cannot do oceans, sir. I am not doing the damn Atlantic Ocean, okay?' I said, 'Sundar, I'm only kidding.'" Can't believe he didn't fire it 😂 Writer: Lucas
