Why does the water vapor go higher over West Ferris than East Ferris?

• West Ferris has a surface reservoir.

• West Ferris island has a mountain and East Ferris does not.

• When the wind blows and hits the mountain, the mountain directs the water vapor high up on the west side of the Ferris Island.

• The wind blows and the mountain directs the water vapor on the east side of Ferris Island.
