What is the main purpose of the dome-shaped houses in the Philippines?
To provide better insulation
To withstand strong typhoons
To reduce construction costs
To increase living space
Why are the dome-shaped houses better at surviving earthquakes?
They are made of stronger materials
They have flexible foundations
Their curved surfaces distribute stress
They are built underground

Painting mountains white
What does the Ice Stupa project aim to solve?
Melting glaciers in the Andes
Wildfire prevention in South America
Soil erosion in Australia
Water scarcity in the Himalayan Desert
How does the Ice Stupa project store water for spring?
By diverting rivers
By using desalination plants
By building underground reservoirs
By freezing it into ice structures
What is the primary cause of the Philippines' vulnerability to typhoons?
Its geographical location
