The round tents in which people from central Asia to Mongolia live are called what?

The round tents in which people from central Asia to Mongolia live are called yurts. Yurts are portable, felt-covered dwellings that have been used by nomadic peoples for centuries. They are typically made of a wooden frame covered with layers of felt, and are designed to be easily disassembled and transported. Yurts are well-suited for the cold, dry climate of central Asia, as they provide insulation from the cold and can be easily moved to follow the herds of animals that nomads rely on for sustenance.
