The fallacy present in the passage is a "false analogy." This fallacy occurs when a comparison is made between two things that are not sufficiently similar in relevant aspects. Although oceans and ponds are both bodies of water, they differ significantly in size, influence, and other characteristics, making the analogy flawed.
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.
