The Statue of Liberty is primarily made of copper, which has undergone oxidation over time. This reaction with oxygen in the atmosphere leads to the formation of a green patina, primarily composed of copper carbonate, due to the reaction with carbon dioxide and moisture. This protective layer prevents further corrosion of the underlying metal, preserving the statue's structural integrity while giving it its iconic green color.
