Weather Hotlist
Weather affects everything on earth. It shapes how the earth looks. It is necessary for food production. It influences the way we live, where we live, and even what we wear.
Earth's atmosphere--it has many layers. Weather only takes place in the troposphere which is the bottom layer. The troposphere contains the most water vapor, and without water vapor, there would be no clouds, no rain, no snow......no weather.
