How was the Eiffel Tower built and why?
The Eiffel Tower construction started in 1887, and ended in 1888. Although most people think the Eiffel Tower was made of steel, it was actually made out of puddled iron, which is a type of wrought iron melted. The Eiffel Tower was made out of 1808 pieces of puddled iron that were riveted together. The Eiffel Tower was built for the entrance for the World Exhibition, which was a celebration for the French Revolution. The Tower is now a national momentum of Paris. The many changes include a 160 meter long thermometer attached to the side of the tower, a skating rink on the first floor, a television antenna placed on top of the tower, a meteorology (weather) laboratory at the top of the Tower, and a printing press for a newspaper on the second floor.

How do you make a Eiffel Tower out of paper?
You can just draw out one section of the eiffel tower on a piece of graph paper; then drawing the other two sections on other pieces of graph paper. Then, roll a slab for each side of the eiffel tower. Use a tableknife to cut out the sections from the clay. Cut out 4 pieces of each section for each side of the Eiffel Tower. Score and slip each side of the eiffel tower and put them together. Cover it with plastic and leave it overnight out. Then score and slip the rest of it together. Leave it overnight again. Make sure that the clay is still leather hard, or in the process in becoming bone dry. then incise the lines into the "eiffel tower" you have made. when fired, it will shrink 10%. Remember that when you roll the clay, you roll it to 3/8 of a inch if you want to make it quicker. If you are up to a challenge, you may roll it to something thinner. Make sure that is even thickness and smooth.

What is the effect of thermal expansion in Eiffel tower?
The Eiffel tower is made of metal, which has the property to expand a little when exposed to heat. So as the side of the Eiffel tower which is exposed to sun expands a little, the summit of the antenna atop of the tower moves in the opposite direction. The span of the movement was calculated by Eiffel's team before buiding it, and the move at the very top described an oval of only a few centimeters (the oval could fit inside your dinner plate). That should be even less today as some metal beams most subject to the expansion had been replaced with a different metal to limit that phenomenon and the stress it could put on the structure.
Why does the Eiffel Tower lean?
The metal girders expand slightly when exposed to heat. They only expand on the side directly hit by the sun, which makes it lean away from the sun.
How do you make a string Eiffel Tower?
you start out with you basic string position by putting the string through your pinky and thumb and sticking your index finger into each side. then when you have your basic position and to make the Eiffel tower you take your thumbs over the first x then into the next x. then you look at your thumbs and you take the lowest (closest to your hand) string loop with your mouth and bring it over your thumb so you just have your top loop. then you drop your pinky( you take the string off your pinky) and you have the cup'n'soucer. then to make the Eiffel tower you grab the top of the cup with your mouth and pull up and take your thumbs out and you've got an Eiffel tower. but the question i have is how do you put the zig zag lines on it?
