World History: Industrial Revolution

Fencing off lands for agriculture during the agricultural revolution is know as

• crop rotation
• optimal harvesting
• enclosure system

• selective agriculture

In the U.S. most factory workers were from

• broken homes
• rural areas
• cities
• immigrants from Europe

Which of the following were two results of the enclosure system

• led to more technology in agriculture and led to people leaving rural areas
• increased the use of chemicals in farming and more diseases
• Led to an increase in production and immigration to America
• led to innovations in technology and breeding practices

These two resources made the Ruhr Valley in Germany important to the I.R.

• Open Land and cotton
• Railroads and coal
• Tobacco and Iron ore
• Coal and iron ore

Why were the railroads such an integral part of Germanys industrial progress 

• They lacked roads
• they lacked rivers
• resources were spread out over large areas
• they had to haul the iron ore they purchased from America from the ports to the factories

He invented the seed drill

• Ebner Thomas
• Franz Ferdinand
• Tolbert Jethrup
• Jethro Tull

What is the purpose of selective breeding?

• producing the best crops
• producing the strong workers for agriculture
• producing the best livestock offspring
• there was no purpose; just science studies

Agricultural Revolution led to this?

• increase in population
• migration of people from Southern Europe to Northern Europe
• price gouging by farmers to increase profits
• increase in recipe's for cooking

This powered the I.R.

• Railroads
• Steamships
• steam engine
• tractors

Early factories had to be located near one of these?

• Streams
• Creeks
• Rivers
• All the above
