Answer:

Steam engines improved the shipping of goods and raw materials.

Step-by-step explanation:

In 1712, the steam engine was created and powered by coal to pump water out of mines. Later, in 1764, Scottish engineer James Watt made improvements on the engine in order to make it more efficient, and it became a vital power source of the Industrial Revolution.

The steam engine was first used to power machines but later was adapted to power locomotives and steamships.
