• 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

Climate of Cranir Island
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.

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%

Climate Concerns
Our island has close to no climate concerns. The only thing that is slightly
dangerous is over fishing of the seas but that has been put under government
control, and any fishing over the limits will have penalties. Our waste such as left
over food are vaporized by a high energy cannon inside government property.
Electricity is from the big dams on Orion River, and Cranir River and Carter
River. The dams aren't the only things powering up our island though. There are
hundreds of wind turbines on the High Skywalker hills located near the Skywalker
mountain range and more then 50 on the south east hills near the Jagged
Mountains, and around 40 near the Hera Mountain Range. The government has
also recently started a project which has a wind turbine with solar panels on the
huge fans. That improves the electricity generated dramatically
Since our island uses no coal plants other kinds of “dirty” energy our
politicians and scientist have been trying to persuade other countries to stop global
warming and over fishing. So far we haven’t been successful but our people are
trying their best.
The End!!!
