our beloved san fernando vally gets brutally hot in the summer as compared to santa monica or west la because \the valley\ is
has an abundance of hot \valley girls\ that collectively increase ambinet temperatures
surrounded by mountains that block the influence of the oceans temperature mocerating effects.
the area where professors at csun are full of hot air and this increases ambient temperatures.
closer to the equator and gets more direct sunlight

Explanation:

The ocean has a temperature - moderating effect (due to its high specific heat capacity). If an area is surrounded by mountains that block the ocean's influence, it will experience more extreme temperature changes. Santa Monica and West LA are closer to the ocean, so their temperatures are moderated. San Fernando Valley, being surrounded by mountains, loses this moderating effect.
The first option is a joke and not a scientific reason. The third option is also a non - scientific and untrue statement. The fourth option is incorrect as San Fernando Valley is not closer to the equator than Santa Monica or West LA.

Answer:

surrounded by mountains that block the influence of the ocean's temperature moderating effects.
