Types of Houses

Igloos are houses made of snow. They are built in extremely cold areas where there is snow all round the year. These are houses for the tribe called Eskimos.

Houses are built according to the climate and material available in that area. In the hilly areas, houses with sloping roofs are preferred so that snow and water may slip down. Besides, stones are easily available there than sand. Hence stones are mostly used to build houses in these areas. Even the roofs are made up of slate stone.

Big cities have larger population but less area. So, multi storied buildings are built so that more and more people can live in less area. Houses in these buildings are called as flats.

Igloos on the other hand are houses made of snow. They are built in extremely cold areas where there snow all round the year. These are houses for the tribe called Eskimos. Pucca houses have a lintel on the roof. This supports the roof and the entire structure.

In deserts, most of the houses are Kutcha houses as Kutcha houses are cooler as compared to Pucca Houses. Secondly, deserts have less rainfall so there is less chance of falling of these houses. Thus, due to climate and materials available there, Kutcha houses are common there.

In the forests, most of the houses are readily available. So most of the houses are built up with wood. Wooden pillars are raised and wooden houses are built on them so that water doesn't enter. In the forests, single room houses are built on the trees for protection from the wild animals. Nowadays, these type of houses are built for enjoyment and are called as tree houses. Another type of houses built for enjoyment are found in the lakes of Kashmir and Kerala. These are called boat houses. They have big, well and furnished rooms. These houses float on the water. Tourists stay in these houses.

The area around the north pole is extremely cold and is covered with snow throughout the year but even then people live there. They are called as Eskimos and type of houses they build are called at Igloos.

A flood is an overflow of water that submerges land that is usually dry. Flooding may occur as an overflow of water from water bodies, such as a river, lake, or ocean, in which the water overtops or breaks levees, resulting in some of that water escaping its usual boundaries, or it may occur due to an accumulation of rainwater on saturated ground in an areal flood. While the size of a lake or other body of water will vary with seasonal changes in precipitation and snow melt, these changes in size are unlikely to be considered significant unless they flood property or drown domestic animals.

The size of a lake or other body of water will vary with seasonal changes in precipitation and snow melt. Flooding causes huge destruction of houses, agricultural fields and causes great harm to humans and animals. Pucca houses usually survive floods, but Kutcha houses can't withstand floods.
