Water evaporates faster at higher temperatures, so warm climates are more likely to be humid than colder climates are (indeed, in very cold weather, even surrounded by ice and snow, the humidity will be very low). But hot climates are not always humid. Deserts can be both hot and dry. Typically, a desert is in a "rain shadow" where an intervening mountain range, between the desert and the nearest ocean, is causing the rain to fall before it reaches the desert. Being close to an ocean is a good source of humidity. Lakes and rivers are also a source of humidity. Rain forests are humid, because the vegetation is very efficient at drawing water out of the ground and releasing it through the pores (or technically, stomata) in leaves. The rain is constantly being recirculated, at it falls into the ground and is again absorbed.

How do landscapes in arid climates differ from landscapes in humid climates?

Landscapes in arid climates typically have sparse vegetation, rugged terrain, and limited water sources. In contrast, landscapes in humid climates tend to be lush with dense vegetation, rolling hills, and abundant water sources like rivers and lakes. The soil in arid climates is often dry and nutrient-poor, whereas in humid climates it is typically fertile due to regular rainfall.
