One of the most famous monuments in the world, the Statute of Liberty, was presented to

figure was made of copper supported by a metal framework which had been especially constructed
by Eiffel. Before it could be transported to the United States, a site had to be found for it and a
pedestal had to be built. The site chosen was an island at the entrance of New York Harbour. By
1884, a statute which was 151 feet tall, had been erected in Paris. The following year, it was taken
to pieces and sent to America. By the end of October 1886, the statute had been put together again
and it was officially presented to the American people by Bartholdi. Ever since then, the great

behavior might help predict future earthquake.

Scientists believe that animals can perceive these environmental changes as early as
several days before the disaster.

Although hundreds of thousands of people were killed, the government was able to evacuate
millions of people and thus keep the death toll at a lower rate.
