The reasoning in the passage represents a false analogy fallacy. This occurs because it draws a comparison between oceans and ponds based on one characteristic (their effect on weather) without acknowledging the significant differences in scale and impact between the two.
Use the passage to answer the question. Oceans and ponds are both bodies of water. Since an ocean has a strong effect on nearby weather, a pond must have a strong effect as well.
