Cerrena [4.2K]3 years ago
7 0
A tornado is a violently rotating column of air that is in contact with both the surface of the earth and a cumulonimbus cloud or, in rare cases, the base of a cumulus cloud. They are often referred to as twisters or cyclones, although the word cyclone is used in meteorology, in a wider sense, to name any closed low pressure circulation.

Why did the Plateau Indians construct pit houses?
drek231 [11]

Answer:

They had well established winter villages built on the banks of a major waterway.  Homes were built partially underground. Some were little round houses with dirt roofs.  Some were long lodges. They were both pit-houses.

To build a pit-house, first you dug a pit about six feet deep.  Some pit-houses were built for a small family group and perhaps were only 20 feet in diameter. But some were much larger - as much as 60 feet wide and 100 feet long.  The small ones were usually oval in shape. The large ones were usually rectangular. But construction of all pit-houses started by digging a pit that was the outline of the house.

Once you had dug the pit, next you piled up rocks to make walls. Then you added some wooden posts to support a roof.  Roofs were made of everything from planks to woven reeds. (Baskets and mats were also made out of reeds.)
