The Leaning Tower of Pisa experiences both physical and chemical weathering. Physically, factors like temperature fluctuations and moisture can cause the marble and stone to crack and erode over time. Chemically, the exposure to pollutants and acidic rain can lead to the dissolution of minerals in the stone, resulting in surface degradation. Together, these processes contribute to the ongoing deterioration of this iconic structure.
Lots of rain.
The type of weathering that can damage the Tower of Pisa is primarily physical weathering, specifically freeze-thaw weathering. This occurs when water seeps into the cracks of the stone structure, freezes, expands, and then thaws, causing the rock to weaken and eventually break apart. Additionally, chemical weathering from acid rain can also contribute to the deterioration of the tower's limestone material over time. Regular maintenance and restoration efforts are necessary to prevent further damage to the iconic structure.
