It also plays a big part in regulating Earth's climate. Unlike better known ocean currents – such as the Gulf Stream along the United States East Coast, the Kuroshio Current near Japan, and the ...

It’s not real; shifting sand creates a waterfall effect. Located near this UNESCO World Heritage site in Mauritius. Powerful ...

But now, this large system of currents in the Atlantic Ocean is weakening and slowing down. And that could spell disaster. Think of the AMOC as Earth’s natural climate regulator. It moves warm water ...
