If a space ship is going 99% speed of light time is slower for them according to the earth (I think) but if the space ship is out reference point then the Earth is going 99% the speed of light. So wouldn't time be going slower on earth in relation to the ship?

Why does Death Valley get so hot relative to other places at the same latitude? I'd expect the hottest recorded temperature to be close to the equator but DV is nowhere near the equator. What causes the extreme heat there but not in other places?
