2 Factors Contributing to Climate We are right in the middle of the Atlantic There warm currents coming in from all sides except for where the cold currents comes in at the east. A string of mountains Wind patterns

4 Cranir Island is in the middle of the Atlantic Ocean, the EXACT middle with the closest island or continent far away. IF you want our longitude and latitude we are at 30 N and 45 W. We are located far above the equator between the US and North Africa. There are three features that controls the islands climate. First of all, its location. Its right in the middle of nowhere but since the island is at the same longitude as Florida and Florida is a humid sub-tropical region which makes us the same logically so. And that tells us something more. Since all sub-tropical regions have less rain in the winter and more in the summer that makes our island like that too. Also we have milder winters, like humid sub-tropical regions. The second thing that decides the climate is the water currents. There are mostly warm water currents surrounding the island but there is a cold current coming in from Africa so the east side of the island is cold but the north, south, and west sides are hot. The warm currents are the gulf stream warming the west, north Atlantic driff to the north and the North Equatorial to the south. The cold east current is the Canary Current. The third thing that decides our climate is the land masses. We have a string of mountains moving east to west and stopping near the middle so it blocks fierce winds coming in from the US flowing to the east side of Cranir.

6 Agriculture, Aquaculture and Live Stock Our food mainly comes from our own farm land, fishing, and the cows, pig, and other meat products. Although we have other countries import luxuries like coffee, soda, but our island is self-survivable. Arable land is at 19%

7 Imports and Exports We export a lot of stuff, ranging from rice to diamonds, Beef to gold, but our most major exports are occurring around fish, diamonds, gold, computers, and clothing. We have very little imports because we don’t really need anything. But we do have some and the most common are coffee, electronics (mainly TV’s), some military hard ware, soda, and some other food products that aren’t very healthy.
