QUESTION 1

How did the use of one natural resource (coal) lead to a growth in the availability of natural resources generally in England?

Select one:

a. Using coal to power factories increased the demand for coal, which led to innovations in the use of other natural resources.

b. The technology innovations used to produce coal led to technologies that made use of other natural resources.

c. The small amount of coal needed to reach far-away areas made it possible to find, collect, and transport more natural resources.

d. Coal was cheap in England because coal mines were located everywhere througout the country.

QUESTION 2

Why was the invention of the locomotive engine important to the success of a railroad system?

Select one:

a. The locomotive engine provided a safe place to house the engineer or driver of the train.

b. The locomotive engine provided the technology needed to steer the train along the tracks.

c. The locomotive engine was efficient enough to provide the power needed to move a long string of heavy cars.

d. The locomotive engine was needed to store most of the cargo transported by rail.

QUESTION 3

What contribution by George Stephenson insured that one railroad line could be easily accessed by trains on another railroad's lines?

Select one:

a. Stephenson designed a standard size railroad track.

b. Stephenson established a central time schedule for trains to use.

c. Stephenson invented the train hub linking lines together.

d. Stephenson financed several railroad lines and their companies.

Answer 1

The use of coal in steam engines led to technological innovations that improved the harnessing of other natural resources, which is why option b is correct. The invention of the locomotive engine was important because it efficiently powered heavy trains, making option c the correct choice. George Stephenson contributed to railroad connectivity by designing a standard size railroad track, hence option a is the answer.

Step-by-step explanation:

To answer your first question on how the use of coal led to a growth in the availability of natural resources in England, it is because the technology innovations used to produce coal led to technologies that made use of other natural resources (option b). The steam engine, which was initially used to pump water out of coal mines, demonstrated that coal could not just provide heat but also power. These steam engines were then adapted for other industrial uses, driving machinery and locomotives, which consequently increased the demand for coal and other resources.

Regarding the invention of the locomotive engine and its importance to the railroad system, the answer is that the locomotive engine was efficient enough to provide the power needed to move a long string of heavy cars (option c). The steam locomotive, evolving from adaptations to James Watt's steam engine, became the driving force behind the rails, transporting goods and people across distances previously inaccessible by traditional means.

Lastly, George Stephenson's contribution that insured interoperability among different railroad lines was that he designed a standard size railroad track (option a). This standard gauge allowed trains from different companies to use the same tracks, greatly enhancing the efficiency and connectivity of the railroad network.

Answer 2

Question 1 = A

Question 2 = C

Question 3 = A

Step-by-step explanation:

Coal was excellent to help in the production of metals as they required high temperatures. The demand for coal also created a need for more efficient methods of transport. Those methods of transport used the steam engine. This allowed people to gather and use resources from further away and more efficiently.

The locomotive engine could generate more power and carry heavier loads. This made it one of the best options for delivering raw materials, such as coal, or the transport of people over long distances.

The tracks were designed to be uniform and that all the trains and their carriages would have to comply with the same design. The tracks also had to be separated to allow for carriages of different size to pass each other. Stephenson also created a timetable for all trains on his lines to follow and double tracks to avoid any collisions.
