Deep Western Boundry current.
|
This current flows Southwest, opposite and underneath the Gulf stream. Sediments from this shelf are deposited on the continental slope and rise

|
Gulf Stream
|
this current flows fromt he Southwest to the Northeast.This strong current prevents sediments from being settled on the continental shelf and pushes them up to the continental slope or rise
|
|
|
