Premium Quiz Question From Causes of the Industrial Revolution
Question: How did James Watt's steam engine revolutionize industry?
Answer:
The steam engine ran by itself, meaning that workers were no longer needed.
Since steam comes from water, the steam engine provided a free source of power.
With the steam engine, factories could be located anywhere - they no longer needed rivers to power the machines.
Small, portable steam engines meant that production could shift back into private homes.
