Claim 2: Buenos Aires and Cape Town have different ocean surface temperatures is better supported.
This is because Buenos Aires is located in the southern hemisphere and has a temperate climate with ocean currents that influence its water temperature, while Cape Town is also in the southern hemisphere but experiences different ocean currents, particularly the warm Agulhas Current. These geographical and oceanographic factors typically result in different ocean surface temperatures for the two cities. Without specific data to support Claim 1, it is reasonable to conclude that the two locations likely have different ocean surface temperatures.
