Name:
The gulf as a whole is known as the Gulf of Mexico. This name is officially recognized by the International Hydrographic Organization, which seeks to standardize the names of international maritime features and counts all three countries adjacent to the gulf as member states. The name ultimately derives from Mexica, the Nahuatl term for the Aztecs.
Largest Gulf in the World:
Spanning approximately 600,000 square miles, the Gulf of Mexico is the largest gulf globally and ranks as the tenth-largest body of water.
Extensive Drainage Basin:
Around two-thirds of the continental United States drains into the Gulf, including water from as far away as Montana and New York. This includes contributions from 33 major rivers, with the Mississippi River being the most significant.
Rich Marine Biodiversity:
The Gulf's warm waters and abundant food supply support a diverse array of marine life, making it a vital habitat for numerous fish and wildlife species.
Formation of the Gulf Stream:
Originating in the Gulf, the Gulf Stream is one of the strongest ocean currents, influencing climate and weather patterns across the Atlantic Ocean.
