Eskimos live in igloos made of snow good insulators that keep in body heat
Explanation:
Eskimos live in igloos made of snow:
- The igloo's strong snow walls act as good insulators, trapping body heat and heat provided by oil lamps (known as qulliq.)
- Traditional igloos are composed of snow rather than ice because of this. Solid ice does not hold heat as well as compressed snow blocks.
Bad conductor of heat:
- Even though snow is frigid, igloos trap air, which is a poor conductor of heat and thus keeps them warm.
- They also have no other materials with which to construct their home besides snow. They trap air, which is a poor heat conductor, thus the heat inside will not be lost.
