Geography of Rhode Island:
Rhode Island is a New England state bordered by Massachusetts to
the north and east, the Atlantic Ocean to the south, and Connecticut to the
west. It has the least amount of area compared to any state; in fact, it's just
over half the size of Delaware, the second smallest state.
Because of its small size, Rhode Island is known as "Little Rhody." The state is also the second most crowded after New Jersey; it ranks second in people per square mile. About one-sixth of the state's residents live in Providence, Rhode Island's capital and largest city. Rhode Island's landscape includes 36 islands. However, most of the state is part of the mainland of North America. The state is almost divided into two parts by the Narragansett Bay and has over 400 miles of coastline.
There are lagoons and salt marshes along the state's Atlantic shore. There are
also rolling hills on Block Island. If you are looking for an area with great water sources then you will love Rhode Island!
If you could live anywhere where would it be and why?!
