Creaking noises are often heard in the attic of old houses on cold nights Give an explantion in terms of therm expansion?
During cold nights, the temperature decreases causing the materials in the attic to contract. The contraction leads to structural elements such as wood or metal making creaking noises as they adjust to the temperature change.
How do you use thermal energy everyday?
You use thermal energy everyday when you cook food on a stove, take a warm shower, or heat your home in the winter. Thermal energy is also used in industries for various processes like melting metals or processing food products.
Examples of thermal expansion?
"Concrete roads and sidewalks are built in sections, with space left between the panels. Otherwise, they would crack on very cold days and heave and buckle on very hot days.The traditional way to fasten an iron rim to a wooden wheel (or put an iron hoop around a wooden barrel) was to heat the rim red hot. This made it slightly larger, so that the wheel could be forced into the rim; after the rim cooled and shrank, it was firmly held in place. The modern version of this is that one should not mix bolts and nuts made of different metals -- there will be a temperature range in which the bolt is larger than the nut (and the nut is then frozen in place), and another range where the nut is bigger than the bolt (and then it is not held in place securely).A modern application of thermal expansion is in the design of the power plants for nuclear submarines. Instead of trying to control the power level by pushing in and pulling out control rods, the reactor is designed so that when it is too hot it expands (which decreases the rate of reaction), and and when it is cool is contracts (which increases the rate of power production). Thermal expansion eliminates the need for an operator that never gets distracted or a complicated electrical circuit.If the ocean becomes 1 degree (oF) warmer, its volume will increase by 0.01%. Since the ocean is several miles deep, this implies that the surface will rise about a foot, giving a change in the sea level. In the process, the beach line moves landwards 20 feet. People owning beach houses (or even living close to the ocean) find this alarming."
Why do houses creak at night?
Houses creak at night due to the natural expansion and contraction of building materials in response to temperature changes. This can cause the materials to shift and create noise as the house settles. Additionally, the reduction in ambient noise during the night can make these sounds seem louder and more noticeable.
What are the different types of temporary houses?
The different types of temporary houses include emergency shelters, refugee camps, temporary modular housing, and tiny houses. These structures are designed to provide short-term accommodation for people in need, such as those displaced by natural disasters or experiencing homelessness. Temporary houses are typically quick to construct and cost-effective.
What was the housing like in the 19th century?
the houses were very comfortable houses, but for the servants were in cramped corners of the houses. they often stayed in the attics
What was housing in towns in the 19th century like?
the houses were very comfortable houses, but for the servants were in cramped corners of the houses. they often stayed in the attics
Do houses have attics?
Yes, mine does, right off my bedroom on the 2nd floor.
What has the author Hanson Kellogg written?
Hanson Kellogg has written: 'Attics own houses'
What bats are found in Michigan?
they are usually found in abandon houses, attics, basements, and hallow tress.

Where can you find brown bats?
Big brown bats (Eptesicus fuscus) frequently roost in the attics of old houses and buildings.
Do row houses share attics?
Not if they are built correctly. Code usually states there has to be a fire wall in between each residence.
What was the shelter they had during the westward expansion?
They had sod houses.
Were the houses different in the 1960's and 70's?
Not really. Most towns have houses built between 1880s through the 1900s. The biggest difference is the amount and type of insulation in the walls and attics. Windows have also improved.
How do you get more houses on my sims?
Build them or add expansion packs.
When did basements become part of houses?
Basements have always been part of a house. The same as upper floors and attics are. Some may not have either but they do not become a part of it, they are a part of it.
