Answer #1

Statue of Liberty which is situated on Liberty Island in New York Harbor, badly affected by extreme weather conditions like severe weather like heavy rain and and snowfall. It has gone through a wide range of weather in past years.

In 1888, worst situation of weather came across where snow covered the statue thoroughly. Again in 1933, heavy summer storm affected the monument. The weather effect was so bad, that the copper color turned to green due to corrosion.

Although it is wind resistant but extremes like heavy snow, heavy rainfall and high heat with the coldest day, wettest month, snowiest week influenced and damaged the monument.

Thanking you
