Skyscrapers?
the 1880s. This is when the first tall
buildings were built in the United States.
People looked up. These buildings looked
like they touched the sky.
buildings. They have over stories . They
stick out from other buildings. They create a
citys skyline .
towers in the world.
Towers are tall. They have thick walls.
They dont have windows. Windows weaken
buildings. Large numbers of people dont
live or work in towers. Towers can be used
as military defenses, to support bridges,
or as antennas for communication. They

bricks or stone. They were heavy. They
couldnt be higher than stories. Then,

allows engineers to design taller buildings.

underground. The ground can hold heavy

Resist Forces?
earthquakes can affect skyscrapers. They
cause vibrations . This makes skyscrapers
sway. Skyscrapers can sway a little. Theyre
like trees. They move with vibrations.
Engineers design them to do so. This is so
skeletons dont get twisted or strained. But
skyscrapers cant sway too much. They
must resist strong winds.
