Structures

1. What is a structure?

   • A structure is a set of elements in a body that are made to resist the effects of the forces that act on it.
     • It prevents a body from breaking or deforming.

2. Sometimes the structure is easily identified in the body or objects but sometimes the whole object forms it and it's not that easy to identify it.

3. Structures can be man-made or natural

   • Natural
     • They are living beings, in their composition or the result of a geographic process
   • Man-made
     • They are made by people to satisfy a need
