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 subtropical 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 36%
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.
