The answer to the question is Continental deflection. The Gulf Stream Current is deflected by North America, causing the current to change direction. This concept is referred as the Continental deflection. It occurs when a continent deflects the movement of a current (water or air). Continental deflection can either be: Defelction by rotation and continental position --->North Atlantic as an example Deflection of equatorial currents by South America
Gulf Stream: the warm ocean current of the North Atlantic. It originates in the westward equatorial current and is deflected northward by the coast of South America into the Gulf of Mexico and then follows the coast of North America to Nantucket, where it is deflected eastward toward northern Europe
