Troposphere

The troposphere is a part of the atmosphere the everything like you and me, and weather are all in the troposphere. The oxygen we breath is in the troposphere. In order to go above the troposphere we must use oxygen tanks, or in planes we use pressurized cabins. The troposphere is about 7-11 miles high. It is thinner at the poles and thicker at the equator.

There is less precipitation in general in 2009 but that doesn't mean there is less snow. The weather was colder and less snow melted. Because the atmosphere wasn't as warm and there was more snow longer if you look back from an even longer time ago you can see it was even colder than it was even in the 1950's or 60's.

There is a large amount of precipitation all throughout Rhode Island, it seams that there is more precipitation in the lower part of Rhode Island closer to the cost were they have more storms. bout there is also a large amount of precipitation on the north side of the state at the border of Massachusetts. But over all there is a large amount of precipitation all across the state. This is due to climate change. Now that more and more the atmosphere is heating up the weather because more radical storms are bigger causing some places to receive more precipitation, this also causes the weather to be warmer, so even though there is more precipitation there is less snow.

Climates are changing cooler climates are becoming smaller and smaller. And climates are moving. Rhode Island is in the humid continental zone along with all of New England. But due to climate change, now that climate zones are changing. Rhode Island is slowly becoming a humid sub tropical climate zone. While warmer climate zones enlarge and cooler ones shrink.

Young Robert could have made changes to prevent or at least fight climate change. If young Robert used clean, renewable energy, he could do this if he ether used solar energy Wind powered or water powered energy. of he did this he wouldn't release carbon into the troposphere which wouldn't add to the amount of heat being created by people using fossil fuel. And there would be more snow, giving him more opportunities of where to ski.

The first line graph with the red line shows the temperature. The second line graph shows the air pressure. When the are pressure drops rain is more likely and that's what the blue bar graph shows. The last line graphs shows wind speed.

Weather Definition

Weather is used to describe the state of places in the troposphere.
