The statue of liberty turned green because of chemical weathering.
The original color of the Statue of Liberty was copper. The Statue of Liberty turned green because the weathering oxidized the statue.
Weathering has affected the Statue of Liberty because the statue was once a coper color. Acid rain soon caused it to become a green color. Wind, water, snow, and the sun (forms of weathering) also caused the statue's natural color to wash away.
It is changing by weathering because when it rains a lot and the Statue of Liberty is made from a little bit iron, the iron gets wet and rusts the Statue of Liberty.
yes, it will because one day they tatue of liberty will change into being smaller.
On October 28, 1886, the Statue of Liberty was unveiled by President Grover Cleveland.
The idea of the Statue of Liberty was started in the early 1870's. The artist did not actually start on the statue until 1875. The Statue of Liberty was finished in 1885 and erected in 1886 in New York Harbor. The entire statue is made of copper and weighs 62,000 pounds not including the base.
Yes, the Statue of Liberty changed from copper to green due to a process called oxidation, not chemical weathering. The copper in the statue reacted with oxygen, moisture, and other elements in the air over many years, forming a protective layer of greenish-blue copper carbonate called patina. This patina is what gives the Statue of Liberty its iconic green color.
Weather always affects an object when it is exposed to its conditions for a long period of time.
WEll, there is the Empire State Building (but that's not really a STATUE) so a big statue in New York would definitely have to be the famous Statue Of Liberty!! lildancer99<33

No, the Statue Of Liberty used to be copper. Due to weathering and nature, the Statue became the color it is now: Green. DN +++ IT still IS copper. The green is verdigris: a film of copper oxide on the surface.
