Why do houses in places that get heavy rains have sloping roof?

A sloped roof allows water to flow go off the roof. Otherwise, the accumulation of rain water on a roof and its weight could exceed the ability of the roof to support it and might collapse the roof. The accumulation of water would also decrease the ability of the covering material to keep water out of the inside of the structure.


What happens to potential soak in water when we build malls and parking lots?

When we build malls and parking lots, we increase the amount of impervious surfaces, such as concrete and asphalt, in an area. These surfaces prevent water from infiltrating into the ground, reducing the potential for soak. As a result, rainwater runs off these surfaces quickly, leading to increased stormwater runoff and potential flooding in surrounding areas. Proper stormwater management techniques, such as permeable pavement and green infrastructure, can help mitigate these impacts by allowing water to soak into the ground.


Why do roofs blow off during a tornado?
