The weathering can affect statues because if it never rains for a long time we will be miserable and low on food, sand we be flowing in the air which will be bad because if we breathe to much in we can get very sick. Another thing is if it gets to cold we can get sick and if it's way below freezing we can die. With heat we know someday it will get to hot and we will all die or the sun will burn out and we will die.
