Waterwheel
Did waterwheels come before or after Steam engines?
(what does it mean to be) Before steam engines.
Steam engines could be used for making what type of energy?
(What is) rotational energy.
How was access to coal useful to industrialization?
(how can) coal was (or be) useful because of its high burning temperature leading to the prospect of steam engines to be profitable.
This is the definition of a factory
(What is) a building or set of buildings that manufacture and/or process goods using machinery.
Give 2 examples in which Steam engines were used for transportation.
(What are) Trains and Steam boats
This was when the water wheel was invented and first used.
(when is) 4000 bc. (+400, bonus knowledge)
The waterwheel was first used to drive large-scale factories in the late 18th century (+200)
How does coal power a steam engine?
(What is it called when) Burning coal releases lots of heat, which is used to boil water into steam, which is then pressurized and used to power a piston.
A country that wanted to industrialize required access, either by trade or within their own territory, to these goods.
What are steel, coal, timber, and waterways
This new tech allowed for near instant communication between different parts of the world
What is the telegraph?
Where and when was the first conception of a steam engine?
(What was) the Steam Engine designed by Heron of Alexandria, 1st century AD Roman Egypt. (+500, bonus knowledge)
The first useful steam engine was made in the early 1700’s in England. (+200)
A waterwheel can be defined as...
(What is) a wheel with paddles that harnesses a steam's energy and transforms it into rotational energy to power mechanisms
How does the positioning of factories change due to the steam engine?
Steam engines allow factories to move from being located near water to pretty much anywhere
Please name 2 ways in which waterways were important to the development of Industrialisation
1.(How do waterways provide) More access to moving produced goods and input goods to and from factories (trade)
2. (How do waterways provide) Power for waterwheels (in the early stages of industrialization)
How much did the factories of the industrial revolution increase production in Great Britain through the start of 1750 to the end of 1900?
50x
How were steam engines useful for warfare?
1)(how can) Steam engines could be placed on boats to then be able to sail upriver intruding on the back of forts that had been built with this prospect out of mind.
2)(how can) Steam engines could be placed on boats to then be able to outcompete sailboats and lead to a generally superior naval force
How did a waterwheel make the lives of people easier?
(What) (It) allowed people to hook up machines to a different power source than humans or animals, allowing for a faster production of new goods.
What was the main reason that Steam engines were superior to waterwheels for factories?
(how do) steam engines allow for the movement of factories away from the river banks and into the countryside allowing for the development of urban areas not localized around rivers.
Name 2 geographic reasons why Great Britain was the first nation to industrialize.
(why was) Coal (was) close to the surface and there was a surplus of natural waterways allowing for a large scale production of both first waterwheels and then later steam engines.
Originally developed for firearms, this method of manufacturing items allowed for easier repair of goods and machinery
(What are) standardized parts.
How does specifically the burning of coal later affect the globalscape even in modern day?
(How does) the burning of coal, a fossil fuel, release(s) CO2 as a byproduct and greenhouse gas which later due to large scale power production lead to considerable temperature increase on a global stage
These are two specific tools or machines that were hooked up to waterwheels
(What were the) Spinning Jenny, Flour Mill, Crane, Forge Bellow, Crop Irrigation.
This is a manner by which the adoption of the steam engine significantly increased trade between Europe and Asia
What is the Trans-Siberian Railway between Moscow and the Far East?
This is one significant continuity that can be seen with the way humanity viewed the natural world around it during this time period.
(What does it mean that) the industrializing nations viewed nature as an inexhaustible resource and a tool by which they could get what they wanted.
A Factory uses many different mechanisms. Please name at least 2 and define them.
Spinning Jenny-
uses strings or yarn to weave fabrics far more efficiently than a human.
Cotton gin- separates cotton and seeds from the pod
Power source
Forge bellow-blows lots of air to superheat fuel
This is how trade and migratory patterns were affected by the development of steam-powered transportation.
(What does it mean that) due to the steam engine’s capabilities to move goods and people in a more efficient manner, there was an increase in trade between industrialized nations, and more people chose to move to different parts of the world to make a better life for themselves.
