Question

1.why are igloos dome shaped? 2.why houses in earthquake prone areas are made by wood? 3why do people of Assam live in houses built on stilts?

Answer 1

1.The dome shape contributes to the energy efficiency of the igloo.
2. Houses in earthquake prone area are made of wood because it is easily available
3. People of Assam live in houses built of stilts because the level of water can go very high in the rainy season so to stop the water from entering the house

Answer 2

1. Snow is white that means they are bad conductor of heat. Any heat generated inside the igloo will remain inside. Snow is also a good insulator because of the air trapped inside the igloo. The dome shape once again contributes to rhe energy efficiency of the igloo.
2. Because there are so many earthquakes in the month and if houses are not built of wood, much money will spend only on houses there will be no money for city.
3. Because the state receives abundant rainfall due to which there are chances of flood and the water get the houses, so in order to avoid the flooding of houses, houses are built on stilts and above the ground level.

hope it helps!!!
