Swiss chalets have rocks on the roof for practical reasons. The rocks, known as "roofing shingles," provide protection against strong winds and heavy snowfall common in the Swiss Alps.

Additionally, the weight of the rocks helps to anchor the roof in place during extreme weather conditions.
A roof that overhangs its supporting wall could be called Eaves or a Gable, depending on which aspect of the building it is on. On the ends of a building it is called a Gable, whereas on the sides it is called the Eaves. "Eaves" also applies to buildings with no perceivable ends or sides; a round building for instance.
