Question

In the early 1800s, British engineer Richard Trevithick invented the first railway steam locomotive. By 1850, Britain had more than 6,000 miles of railroad track. These two events are an example of which type of relationship?

Answer 1

The relationship is an example of the Industrial Revolution and how it both gave rise to many new innovations in industry but quickly pressed these innovations into service to fuel the rapidly expanding economy for example some of the railway lines and locomotives would be used to transport coal to market.

Answer 2

Causation

Step-by-step explanation:

A causal relation is one that represents two events, where the second event was caused by the first event. In the case of the text shown in the question, the miles of railroad track, were built because previously the first railway steam locomotive was created.
