Why are bricks positioned vertically over windows and doorways?

Asked by davidpaton02 (37points) January 31st, 2010

Over windows and doors in brick buildings I often see vertically poisitioned bricks, in an arch or a straight line. I know it has something to do with tension/compression but any specifics or links?
