1. Industrial Revolution is a series of improvements in industrial technology that transformed the process of manufacturing goods.
ReplyDelete2. Before the Industrial Revolution people had to make their own tools and equipment by hand and their homes or obtain them from the local village.
3.The cottage industry is home based manufacturing with examples being clothes and silk in tribal villages in Africa and crops in Asia.
4. Industry is concentrated in Europe, North America,and East Asia because they have abundant resources.
5. Most of the industry in the United States is in the Northeast.

Include on 1. The Industrial Revolution started in Great Britain at around 1760 and lasted to about 1840. Some major people and their inventions are George Stephenson- developed the first steam powered locomotive, Thomas Newcomen- invented steam engine that used coal, James Watt- improved on Newcomen's steam engine, Thomas Edison- lightbulb, and Henry Ford- affordable car.
Delete1. The Industrial Revolustion was the transition to new manufacturing processes in the period from about 1760 to 1840. It began in Great Britain.
ReplyDelete2. Prior to the Industrial Revolution, people made household tools and agricultural equipment in their own homes or obtained them in the local village.
3. The cottage industry is home-based manufacturing. Two examples of this would be spinning thread and weaving.
4. Industry is concentrated in Europe, North America, and East Asia. Europe has abundant resources, raw materials, and labor concentrations. North America and East Asia have industrial locations along their coasts.
5. North American industrial areas are located in a band from the Golf of Mexico o the East Coast and the California Coast.
6. Most industry in East Asia is located in Japan, China, and South Korea.

ReplyDelete1. The Industrial Revolution started in England between 1750-1850. It was an increase in production brought about by machines and new energy sources. James Watt and Thomas Sawery were key figures. The steam engine was a key invention.
2. Prior to the Industrial Revolution people made there own equipment and household tools. They made the tools out of materials they had available.
3. A cottage industry is when the manufacturing is based in homes rather than in factories. This practice mostly took place before the Industrial Revolution. Two examples of cottage industries are weaving and pottery.
4. Industry is concentrated in three main regions and those regions are Europe, North America, and East Asia. These areas are industrial centers because these regions have a steady supply of labor. Skilled laborers are mostly concentrated in Europe and North America while there is an abundance of low cost labor in East Asia.
5. Most of the industry in the United States is located in the South and West.
6. Most of East Asia's industry is found in Japan, China, and South Korea.

ReplyDelete1. The Industrial Revolution was an increase in production brought about by the use of machines and characterized by the use of new energy sources. It started around the 1750's in Europe, specifically Britain. Some important inventions include the flying shuttle, made by John Kay in 1733, the spinning jenny, and the waterframe. Hydro power was used until the invention of steam engines, with the first successful one created by Thomas Newcomen. Improvements were made to machines, with James Watt's contribution to the improved steam engine. Steam power aided in the making of steam boats and the railroad.
2. People made their own household tools and agricultural equipment or obtained them in a local village prior to the Industrial Revolution.
3. Cottage industry is a business or manufacturing activity carried on in a person's home. Two examples of cottage industry would be weaving in India, as well as businesses selling baked goods out of a home.
4. Industry is mostly concentrated in Europe, North America, and East Asia. This is mainly due to the availability of resources in these areas, the large workforce, and development in transportation, allowing these goods to be easily shipped.
5. Most industry in the U.S is clustered in the northeast. Many urban areas are located there, such as New York, Boston, and Philadelphia. Many factories were formed there in the industrial revolution because of access to ports for trade, and have remained there today.
6. Most industry in East Asia is located on the east coast and in major cities of major countries. For example, Beijing and Shanghai are major industrial powerhouses in China, where industry is a large factor.
