I think the correct answer from the choices listed above is option A. The gulf stream current is deflected by north america, causing the current to change direction. This is called continental deflection. It is the process when a continent deflects the movement of a current (water or air).
Hello.
The answer is: continental deflection
Continental deflection is when water builds up or changes directions. Its not pycnocline because pycnocline is when water increases by depth. Its also not the Coriolis effect because thats weather paterns. Its also not conveyor belt cycling because that is when water is moving around the world.
Have a nice day.
