Why is it that the houses in the Tarai region and
in Goa and Mangalore have sloping roofs?
Why houses in Assam are built on stilts?​

Answer 1

1. Since the weather in Rajasthan is very hot and receives very less rainfall, thehouses have thick walls and flat roofs. This is because these thick wallsprevent the heat from entering into thehouses while the flat roofs help to retain the little water that has been collected during rainfall.
2. The houses in Tarai region, Goa and Mangalore have sloping roofsbecause these regions receive heavy rainfall. Therefore, when the houses have sloping roofs, it helps them to getrid of the collected rainwater which flows down from the roof to the ground.
3. Houses in Assam are built on stiltsbecause the state receives abundant rainfall due to which there are chances of floods. In case of flood the water might get inside the houses, if thehouses are built on ground level, so in order to avoid flooding of houses,houses are built on stilts and above the ground level.

Answer 2

Answer:

The houses in the Tarai region and in Goa and Mangalore have sloping roofs because they get heavy rain during the monsoon season. When there are sloping roofs, the rain water can easily flow off towards the ground or to a receptive unit where water is collected instead of collecting on the rooftop.
