Why do we use tiles for roofs instead of a smooth flat sheet?

628 viewsOther

Why roof tiles exist. I understand why we don’t have flat roofs, but why do we have hundreds of tiles that sort of overlap each other and can be pulled or blown off easily?

Why aren’t roofs like a giant tent, still A shaped but each side is just a big sheet of whatever weatherproof material we got?

When I got my new roof put on my first house,I had them pitch the roof over the garage so I got an attic and no more possibilities of standing water.
