Houses around the world By Fiona, Febi, Vincent and Ibrahim

Igloo• An igloo or snowhouse is a type of shelter built

of snow, originally built by the Inuit.• Although igloos are usually associated with all

Inuit, they were predominantly constructed by people of Canada's Central Arctic and Greenland's Thule area. Other Inuit people tended to use snow to insulate their houses, which were constructed from whalebone and hides. Snow is used because the air pockets trapped in it make it an insulator. On the outside, temperatures may be cold but on the inside the temperature may be warmed by body heat alone.

Caravans• Mobile homes or static caravans are homes built

in factories, rather than on site, and then taken to the place where they will be occupied. Being built on a permanently attached chassis with highway-grade wheels and tires, they are usually transported by being pulled behind a tractor-trailer over public roads to a home site. Mobile homes share the same historic origins as travel trailers, but today the two are very different in size and furnishings, with travel trailers being used primarily as temporary or vacation homes.
