Which characteristics best describe a low slope roof?

Low slope roofs are best suited for northern climates and cottages.
A low slope roof can result in increased snow load during winter.
A low slope roof means steeper angles compared to higher slope roofs.
A low slope roof is unlikely to contribute to ice dam formation.
Slope roofs should never be used in snowy climates.
Low slope roofs require steep angles.

The correct answer is: A low slope roof can result in increased snow load during winter.

A low slope roof can result in increased snow load during winter because the low angle of the roof does not allow snow to easily slide off, which can lead to the accumulation of heavy snow on the roof. This increased snow load can put additional stress on the roof structure and may require special considerations during construction to ensure it can support the weight. Option A is incorrect because low slope roofs are not necessarily best suited for northern climates and cottages. Option C is incorrect because low slope roofs have gentler angles compared to higher slope roofs. Option D is incorrect because low slope roofs can still contribute to ice dam formation if not properly designed and insulated. Option E is incorrect because low slope roofs can be used in snowy climates with proper design considerations. Option F is incorrect because low slope roofs do not require steep angles; in fact, they have shallower angles compared to higher slope roofs.
