Dear Wikiwand AI, let's keep it short, summarize this topic like I'm... Ten years old or a College student
A wall is a structure and a surface that defines an area; carries a load; provides security, shelter, or soundproofing; or, is decorative. There are many kinds of walls, including:
- Walls in buildings that form a fundamental part of the superstructure or separate interior rooms, sometimes for fire safety
- Glass walls (a wall in which the primary structure is made of glass; does not include openings within walls that have glass coverings: these are windows)
- Border barriers between countries
- Brick walls
- Defensive walls in fortifications
- Permanent, solid fences
- Retaining walls, which hold back dirt, stone, water, or noise sound
- Stone walls
- Walls that protect from oceans (seawalls) or rivers (levees)
