North+Pacific+Gyre

=North Pacific Gyre=

=The North Pacific Gyre is like the North Atlantic Gyre because it circulates clockwise but it is on the Pacific Ocean not the Atlantic. The Pacific Gyre also begins with the North Equatorial Current but it does not then go through the Gulf Stream it goes through the Kuroshio Current which is equivalent to the Gulf Stream. The Kuroshio current also goes through the east coast of Asia. Then as it rises up to the Bering Sea it becomes the North Pacific Drift as it flows toward the Americas and then it flows in the southern direction along California and becomes the California Current and is cool and gentle.=
