A live load is the active load that is not permanently attached to the structure. It's like your car when you drive, your car is a live load to the earth because your car is heavy enough to keep itself on earth using gravity and its own weight that it carries within itself.
A dead load is when a force is applied on a structure, it causes forces within the structure. A dead load also does not move it is stationary. Gravity is whats holding it down on to the surface,just like how gravity is holding us down to earth.A example is when you go over the monkey bars, the monkey bars are the dead load being held down by gravity.
