Compare the First and Second Industrial Revolutions.
First focused on steam power and textiles; Second emphasized steel, electricity, and chemicals.
Compare the Steam Engine and the Internal Combustion Engine.
Steam Engine: 'workhorse' of early Industrial Revolution. Internal Combustion Engine: 'speed demon' of the later era.
What were the causes and effects of the Steam Engine?
Cause: Need for more efficient power source. Effects: Revolutionized transportation, industry, energy production, mining, and agriculture.
What were the causes and effects of the Internal Combustion Engine?
Cause: Need for more efficient and mobile power source. Effects: Increased mobility, accelerated construction and manufacturing, improved power generation, and enhanced military capabilities.
What were the causes and effects of the Bessemer Process?
Cause: Need for cheaper and more available steel. Effects: Stronger buildings and infrastructure.
What were the causes and effects of Assembly Lines?
Cause: Need for increased efficiency in manufacturing. Effects: Mass production and lower costs.
What were the causes and effects of Electricity?
Cause: Need for more efficient and reliable energy. Effects: Allowed factories to operate 24/7, transformed urban life.
What were the causes and effects of Railroads & Steamships?
Cause: Need for more efficient transportation. Effects: Opened up interior lands for exploration and migration.
What were the causes and effects of the Telegraph?
Cause: Need for faster communication. Effects: Revolutionized global communication and trade.
What were the causes and effects of Urban Transport?
Cause: Need for efficient transportation within cities. Effects: Transformed cities and facilitated urban growth.
What were the causes and effects of the Second Industrial Revolution?
Cause: Building upon the First Industrial Revolution. Effects: New materials, precision machinery, and widespread use of electricity.
What were the causes and effects of Mass Production?
Cause: Need to produce goods in large quantities. Effects: Increased availability of goods and lower costs.
What was the significance of the development of the Steam Engine?
