The fallacy in the passage is a false analogy. The reasoning compares oceans and ponds, suggesting that because oceans affect weather, ponds must as well, without providing a valid basis for that comparison.
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.
