Answer 4

Today, it is understood that the waters feeding into the Gulf Stream begin flowing off the west coast of Northern Africa (map). There, the Atlantic North Equatorial Current flows from that continent across the Atlantic Ocean. Once the current reaches eastern South America, it splits into two currents, one of which is the Antilles Current. These currents are then funneled through the islands of the Caribbean and through the Yucatan Channel between Mexico and Cuba.
