The hard snow walls of an igloo are good insulators that keep in body heat and also the heat generated by oil lamps, these are known as qulliq. This is why traditional igloos are commonly made out of snow rather than ice and this is because solid ice does not retain heat as well as blocks of compressed snow. In addition, the walls block the wind, which is often so bitter that it can make freezing temperatures feel many degrees colder. Also, insulation capabilities actually increase a few days after construction. Body heat and sun exposure cause the inside of the igloo to melt ever so slightly. When the igloo is unoccupied during hunting expeditions, the melted snow freezes over, turning into ice. Gradual thawing and refreezing turns the entire structure to solid ice, making it not only superstrong, but warmer than ever.

Why do you think general order 143 and the emancipation proclamation were important during the civil war
klasskru [66]
<span>The Emancipation Proclamation issued by President Abraham Lincoln on January 1, 1863 that abolished slavery in all states including those in the Confederacy.  It is still an important document today because it finally removed the practice of slavery in America.  Never again would people be bought or sold like property and it also defined that all people were equal and that no one had the right to enslave another.  General Order 143 that enabled slaves and free blacks to enlist in the Union Army during the Civil War. The color regiments performed well and President praised these men for their sacrifice in winning the war.  It is still relevant today , we judge not by their color but how well they perform and how committed they are to the cause at hand.</span>
