factual description on effiel tower
Answers
Answer:
The Eiffel tower is a puddled iron structure, an iron that has lost some of its carbon and therefore rusts less quickly. It is pyramidal in shape with slightly curved sides. It measures 324m high and is divided into 4 parts separated by a floor. Until the second floor the tower is made of 4 distinct pillars, but from there they join in a single pylon which rises vertically to the top. The floors are successively at altitudes of 57m, 115m and 276m. There is an intermediate stage, between the second and third, but it is unused nowadays. In the 19th and early 20th century, it served as a trans-shipment platform for the passengers going to the top because the elevators were not able to rise so high at one time.
The tower is decorated with arcades on the level of the first floor and each floor has different buildings: restaurants, shops, museums, observation galleries, and even, in the winter, an ice rink. The elevators facilitate the rise of the visitors but it is possible to climb the tower by the staircase up to the 2nd floor.
The Eiffel Tower is built in the axis of the Paris Mars Field, which is itself oriented at approximately 45 ° to the meridian. By building a square base tower, the four pillars are focused on the 4 cardinal points. So there is naturally a North pillar, a West, a South and an East. In order to be more technical, Gustave Eiffel and his engineers had numbered them from 1 to 4, in this order, but nowadays it is a notion that has been lost.
