Types of Structures
Structures are either natural (are found in nature) or constructed (are made by people). There are four types of structures;


 * 1) Frame: made of separate members (usually thin pieces) put together.
 * 2) Shell: encloses or contains its contents.
 * 3) Solid (mass): made almost entirely of matter.
 * 4) liquid (fluid): braking fluid making the brakes.
