Rhode Island's highest point is Jerimoth Hill, which is only 812 feet above sea level. Rhode Island has two main regions. One region is the eastern region which contains the lowlands of the Narragansett Bay. Western Rhode Island connects up with New England. The geography affected the people that lived in Rhode Island. It affected farmers the most because Rhode Island was great for agriculture. But for people that lived there it got very hot and cold it was also humid so people did not like this.
