What if there was an alternate earth where there was no landmass between North America and South America. For clarification, in place of Central America there would be a sunken land bridge at the dept of the english channel.
- How could this affect the way the ocean currents would move?
- Would there still be the same oceanic gyres?
- Would we still have the gulf stream?
- Would this impact on the El Niño climate cycle?
I'm also curious about how this could affect climate as a result, but this is secondary.
