Sweden and Norway, both of these countries have a very severe cold climate and snowfall is a usual for them.

In areas of heavy snowfall, like Sweden and Norway, flat roofs would be loaded with a lot of snow which may cause some loss to the roofs and may lead it to crack.

So these steep roofs do not allow any water or snow to accumulate on the top of the roof and makes it easier for the snow to slide off it.

Its mostly a stylistic choice although at one points it was mostly a heat related idea. Hot air rises so having a steep roof allowed for the accumulation of hot air. It was also a good windbreaker so a collection of houses were able to stop a lot of the harsh wind from damaging things.

Answer:

c. Do not have legislative representation as is the cases in other countries with proportional representation.

Explanation:

Proportional representation refers to an electoral structure wherein the number of votes that the members of the political party obtain at a given election determines the number of seats held by a specified political party in a legislative system. This electoral process is the principle of allocating seats in parliament so that they are proportionate to the votes cast. However, in the United States, the legislative representation falls under the subjugation of the candidate who receives the maximum number of votes.

Compared to roman mosaics, early christian mosaics were more __________.
Sergeu [11.5K]

The correct answer is Luminous

Explanation:  The mosaics have a very old origin. They were already called mosaics in Crete, Mesopotamia and, as we know, in Greece and Rome.

The Romans  built the mosaics with small cubic pieces called tessela.  The materials of these tesserae were limestone, stained glass, ceramic.

Paleo-Christian art, now able to enjoy greater financial bases and relegating fresco mural painting to the background, will seek to perfect the technique and will toast the interior of the church with intense and vibrant color images, possible by replacing marble with pieces of colored glass . However, this new material does not allow a complex palette of shades and the modeling of the figures loses their contact with the real world, the characters present themselves as transcendental, immaterial beings, inhabitants of a kingdom of light and gold.
