Italy is called Italy Because there was once a man who had a horses. One of his Horses was called Italy. The man was out excersising his horse one day, and the king was also out! The King was out walking in the forests. The man saw a woman in the distance about to shoot the king! When the gun fired the horse bolted and leaving his rider on the ground. The horse reared up at the bullet and left the king escape!!! The horse unfortuanly died! But because of the horses great effort and care the King asked the man what would he like in return? The man replied " My horse died for you, a stranger to him! He showed he didnt care who you were! He just wanted to save you! Call one of you most favourite things after my horse! After all he did save your Life" The king replied " I will do my best!" And he went home. The next week it was all over the country that it would be called "Italy". Italy meant " Calf Land" The horse grow up with cows and calfs and the horse thought himself as one and that's why the horse was called Italy!!
When did the Leaning Tower of Pisa get its name?
The tower of Pisa got it's name because it's a leaning tower in Pisa, Italy. It was built on soft ground and did not have a strong foundation. It leaned more as it was built and had to undergo construction to fix it and make it safe. It still leans and that's how it got the name the Leaning Tower of Pisa.
Has the Leaning Tower of Pisa ever suffered weathering or erosion?
No, the tower is still standing at an angle (2017). The tower's foundations have been reinforced in the past to ensure the tower will not eventually fall., There is no desire to correct the lean, as the lean is maintained because it is a famous tourist attraction.
Real gold plate. Gold over sterling (92.5). Usually 14karat gold. Often known as vermeil, gilted with gold.
Why is the leaning tower a tall structure that is not stable?
In 1173 the constrution workers were building a bell tower but it was originally supposed to be standing up staight but it kept tilting. Over centuries other people were helping stablize the tower and others made it worse and because the tower kept tilting they closed the tower 1990. Then they reopened the tower 2001 and they say it is expected to stay like that for the next 300 years.
It will eventually fall in the next 200 years. But it is currently being supported by protecters, (it leans 1mm a year)
the leaning tower of Pisa will fall eventually but not yet you see it leans 1mm a year.
It doesn't lean over long enough to have to do that. The centre of gravity of the tower is still vertically above the foot print (the supporting surface) of the tower.
Because it hasn't leaned far enough to become terminally unstable. Also because of twentieth century engineering work to underpin it, which has active response by hydraulic rams to counter any new movements that occur.
Pisa's Leaning Tower can lean as far as its area of support but will topple if it's windy enough or if enough resonance occurs.
