Asynchronous Notes: Industrial Revolution

In your own words, write a definition of the Industrial Revolution. HINT: Always remember cause and effect and historical significance.

Identify and explain one environmental factor that led to the industrial revolution.

Explain one continuity and one change in the shift of global manufacturing between 1750-1900.

All of the following are examples of fossil fuels except:

• Oil

• Coal

• timber

• Natural gas

Explain some similarities and differences between the FIRST Industrial Revolution and the Second Industrial Revolution.

Which of the following best describes how a variety of environmental factors contributed to the Industrial Resolution?

• Fossil fuels such as natural gas became crucial to new sources of energy in the early 20th century.

• Access to waterways such as rivers and canals allowed for transporting raw materials to factories and finished products to markets

• Steam powered machines such as the steam powered engine allowed for natural resources to be transported longer distances to markets further away.

• Access to accumulated capital allowed for investors and wealthy business owners to invest in new technologies.

Which of the following statements best describes how the factory system contributed the start of the Industrial Revolution?

• It replaced the Cottage System slowly throughout Europe and later the U.S. and Japan.

• It quickly spread to places such as the United States, Germany, and Japan.

• Although machinery began to replace human labor, by the mid 1800s, the majority of labor in Great Britain were still employed in agriculture or servants.

• It centralized production allowing for the efficient organization of labor and machinery which increased productivity and profit.

Steam-powered machines, the abundance of resources and labor, as well as colonial exploitation are all factors that contributed to which shift in global manufacturing between 1750-1900?

• Regions such as Asia and India continued to produce manufactured goods

• Europe and the United States began to see an increase in the share of global manufacturing and profit.

• Colonization of areas such as Africa and the Americas became a major source of raw materials and expansion.

• Industrial production shifted from traditional areas such as SE Asia to other markets such as Latin America and Africa.

Which of the following best describes the shift in production from the first industrial revolution to the second industrial revolution?

• New production methods spread from Great Britain to western Europe, the U.S., and Japan

• New forms of energy were utilized such as oil and natural gas to increase industrial manufacturing.

• New technologies and precision machinery led to the production of steel, chemicals, and electricity; further changing infrastructure in Europe and the U.S.

• Railroads, steamships, and the telegraph made exploration, development, and communication possible which led to increased trade and migration.
