Geological Effects of the Gulf Stream System in the North American Basin.

The Gulf Stream System contains a clockwise rotating set of bottom currents which influence the sea bed in the northern North American Basin. It is possible to interpret the present-day and historical record of current activity in this basin in terms of the deep flow of the Gulf Stream. This interpr...
