(ii) The eastern coasts of USA are comparatively cold.

(iii) The coasts of Norway are not frozen in winter whereas its adjoining coasts are frozen for most parts of the year.

Answer

(i) Warm currents produce a milder climate because warm currents tend to raise the temperature of the places where they flow.

(iii) The coasts of Norway are not frozen in winter whereas its adjoining coasts are frozen for most parts of the year on account of the influence of the warm North Atlantic Drift.
