Its collapse would have dire consequences for our weather and life on Earth. The Atlantic Meridional Overturning Circulation (AMOC) -- which the Gulf Stream is a major part of -- helps maintain the energy balance in the Atlantic Ocean.

The colder, saltier water then sinks and flows south.More Related News
