why the atlantic ocean is so stormy?

Answer 1

The main reason why the Atlantic coast is more stormy than the Pacific coast (as in Hurricanes, Nor'Easters, etc.) is the fact that a warm water current called the gulf stream happens to flow from south to north up the Atlantic Coast. This provide much more energy for storms to use as they approach land. Also, the prevailing winds in the tropical regions of the Northern Hemisphere happen to be from east to west, thus pushing tropical moisture toward much of the Gulf coast region and pushing stroms, like Hurricanes, from the Mid-Atlantic toward the East Coast.

Answer 2

Because of the temperature differences between the Gulf Stream and the main body of cooler Atlantic waters. The warm waters of the Gulf Stream, as they move northward, cause turbulence within the atmosphere due to the temperature difference between the warm water, the cooler surrounding waters, and the atmosphere. This is a recipe for stormy weather.

Answer 3

It is a big ocean and the Earth is rotating on its axis.

Answer 4

i think it has something to do with the way the water is so cold
