The Eiffel Tower, made of wrought iron, is weathering primarily through a process called corrosion. Corrosion occurs when the iron in the structure reacts with oxygen and moisture in the air, forming iron oxide (rust). This process weakens the iron structure over time, leading to maintenance efforts such as regular painting and rust removal to preserve the iconic landmark.
