  1. Define the following concepts: static page and dynamic web page . Explain what language each one uses:                                                                                                        
 Static web page are pages that do not change , thet always shows the same contens . Example schools web  pages are always the same  they just upload more info but it could be once a year.

Structures:
Mass:
A mass structure is a structure that is made by combining similar materials into a certain shape or design. Mountains are an example of a natural mass structure, and brick walls are an example of a man-made mass structure.
Frame:
Frame structures are the structures having the combination of beam, column and slab to resist the lateral and gravity loads. These structures are usually used to overcome the large moments developing due to the applied loading.
Truss: 
These structures are composed of bars that form triangles. They are lightweight and sturdy. Examples include cranes, electricity pylons, etc.
Suspended: 
These are held in place by cables and suspended attached to study supports , Examples include suspension bridges, tents, marquees, etc.
