The fallacy in the statement is a false analogy. The reasoning incorrectly assumes that because oceans and ponds are both bodies of water, they must have similar effects on nearby weather, despite the significant differences in their size and influence.
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.
