Creative Writing: Two cities at the same latitude may have highly different climates because of their exact position, its vegetation, and the amount of water in the area. For instance, Pheonix, Arizona has around the same latitude of Charleston, South Carolina, but because it is on the leeward side of the Rockies, the Sierra Nevadas, and several other landforms, it recieves little moisture whereas Charleston is windward and is drenched in vapor from the Atlantic Ocean. Because Arizona is leeward, its vegetation recieves little water and gives off little while Charleston has many many plants that swell with moisture and keep the air very humid.
