lateral loading. such as the forces produced by high winds
There are many types of frame structures, such as the Eiffel tower, the frame structures help keep all the pillars so it doesn't all fall apart and destroy everything, a house, and a playground, every structure has frame structures, this is what is called a combination structure. Hope this helps. :)

Solid frame structures are composed of interconnected members that provide support and stability, relying on the strength of the individual elements to bear loads. In contrast, shell structures have a thin, curved surface that distributes loads across the structure, often using minimal material for maximum strength. Shell structures are typically more efficient in resisting forces due to their shape, while solid frames rely on the rigidity of their components. Each type has its own advantages depending on the application and design requirements.
Shell structures are enclosed and hollow in the middle e.g. a snail shell or a house. Frame structures are open on the sides e.g. a tree or the Eiffel tower.
Chocolate bars are considered solid structures rather than frame structures. They are typically composed of a uniform material, which gives them strength and stability throughout. While some chocolate bars may have fillings or inclusions, the overall structure remains solid, lacking the hollow or frame-like characteristics of frame structures.
chairs are shell/solid structures because it is a solid and can be considered a frame
No, a leaf is not a frame structure. A leaf is a plant organ that is adapted for photosynthesis, gas exchange, and transpiration. Frame structures are made of interconnected members that support loads and resist forces in structures like buildings or bridges.

Examples of some frame structures are scaffolding, a skeleton of an animal or the eiffel tower.
The top of a frame structure is typically under compression, as it experiences forces pushing down on it from the weight of the structure and any additional loads. The columns or vertical members of the frame are responsible for carrying and resisting this compressive force.
Persuasive, informative, and expressive.
