Answer 1

Answer:

1)- The houses in the plains are different and are usually made of thick mud walls and thatched roofs with a bamboo frame. The construction work is mainly done by the owner and his family.

2)- Houses in stilts are built in the areas of heavy rainfall. This type of house is common in some part of South East Asia and West Africa.

3)-

4)- I have seen a different type of houses in different areas like

(i) Houses made up of wood, which are found in hilly areas.

(ii) Houses made up of mud and bamboo are found in villages.

(iii) Houses made up of cement, bricks, glass, etc. that are found in cities.

These houses are strong and can withstand heavy rains and storms, but the houses made up of mud and bamboo or of wood cannot withstand such climatic conditions.

5)- The multi-storey building is made of concrete would consist of:

Slabs.

Columns.

Shear walls.

Foundations.

Reinforced concrete suspended floors.

Ribbed floors.

Hollow pot floors.

Beams.

6)- Blombos Cave, on the South African coast east of the Cape of Good Hope (the Southern tip of Africa), is an important archaeological site with evidence of human habitation from about 95,000 to about 55,000 years ago. Materials found at the site can tell us a lot about early human life.

• In the plains we may found that mostly houses are made up of shape of the dome. The things required are :- Wood, Bamboo, Grass etc.
• When there is heavy rainfall in any area the house is slanting. It is just like tree found in hilly areas. The reason for choosing this structure is because the water may fall down easily.
• In marshy or desert region we may found only a few people live due to less water. Their homes are made up of wood, leaves, bamboo etc.
• In cities we found we found mostly pucca houses. The things included are :- Bricks, Cement, Iron rod, tin etc. The houses found in cities are long lasting and strong. Iron rod act as a main thing in houses
