Narrator：我解释了墨西哥湾暖流的定义，它是一股温暖而快速的大西洋洋流，起源于墨西哥湾，是全球海洋传送带的一部分。我阐述了它的流向，从墨西哥湾经过佛罗里达海峡，沿美国东海岸，转向欧洲。同时，我解释了“海峡”的含义，并澄清了“current”在此处指的是水体的流动，而非新近出现的事物。我进一步解释了墨西哥湾暖流的运动是水温差异造成的，暖水含盐量较低，密度较小，而冷水含盐量较高，密度较大，导致水体下沉和流动。 Floaty：我最初不明白为什么在海洋中会移动，通过Narrator的解释，我了解了墨西哥湾暖流的定义和形成原因，以及温度和盐度在其中的作用。我开始理解海洋的运动与游泳池的静止是不同的。
