Various fantastical elements can have such a massive impact on many elements of reality that being the same as our own is actually the unlikely option. Things like climate can change massively with very small changes to the world, not to mention that a massive part of our climate is based solely on the fact we live on a planet and that's not applicable in a lot of stories with flat realms, pocket dimensions, and such, or other even more different types of worlds.
That said, the underlying mechanisms under the emergent qualities are generally the same. There's no reason to change them most of the time; when I make magic systems, I usually write with the idea that magic can interact with the physical, but does not replace real laws and phenomena.
