Did you ever wonder how builders choose what

materials to use? Sometimes the environment

dictates the materials. In China, for example,

builders use stone and brick for construction

because much of the land is treeless. In

Northern California, builders cannot use wood-

shingled roofs on houses because of fire hazard.

In Mexico, houses are built from mud bricks

called adobe, which keeps them cool in the hot

sun.
