Gulf Stream

[rov1100]

What triggers it off?

What distance does it travel and where it starts and finishes?

Why does it keep the same roughly the same horizontal path(longitude?)

Does it have any effect on global warming?

How can it affect the oceans as well as the upper atmosphere?

The answer to any or all of these questions would be appreciated.

try googling gulf stream and it will answer all your questions

If everyone took up your suggestion Answerbank will no longer be of any use.

By searching on Google, you will find fuller explanations, in far greater detail, to your five questions than it would be possible to provide here.
Further, Answerbank will hopefully still be here for those people who cannot find answers to their questions, despite looking elsewhere on the internet.

Whilst some may know, many people on here also use Google to help them come by their answers / responses to scholastic questions. http://tinyurl.com/65uouun

rov1100 - pretty rude there.

I suggest you read "How to win Friends and Influence them"

May do you more good than googling "Gulf Stream" or reading about it on Wilkipedia

society, I'm at the limit of my computer skills as I type this so THAT wasVERY impressive. :D

Just because you can find answers on Google does not mean the answer is definitive. Just take global warming. More has been written on this subject than probably any other scientific topic. You can get opposing points of view and the causes;etc. This can lead onto a discussion with different viewpoints.

Maybe I overs-estimated the knowledge of people who visit this site and would be better seeking the information myself by going elsewhere. Jake was obviously an exception.

''Just because you can find answers on Google does not mean the answer is definitive''

Does not this equally apply to answers on Answerbank?

Perhaps you under-estimate the knowledge of people on here, who actually try to point you in the direction of the best practical answers to your original questions.
