The map below shows the path of the Gulf Stream as it flows past the coastline of North Carolina. Which statement best explains how the Gulf Stream affects the climate of North Carolina?

• The Gulf Stream pulls warm water from the north, making temperatures warmer during the winter and bringing more precipitation to the state.

• The Gulf Stream brings warm water from the south, making temperatures warmer during the winter and bringing more precipitation to the state.

• The Gulf Stream pushes winds eastward across the United States, preventing precipitation within the state.

• The Gulf Stream pushes wind westward across the ocean, making temperatures much cooler within the state.
