TRANSCRIPT
BRITAIN’S INDUSTRY
• In about 1790 the United Kingdom experienced the first industrial revolution. (large coal and iron ore deposits)
• Began with James Watt’s Steam Engine
Britain’s Industry• Moved from manual labor and
agricultural–based economy towards machine-based economy. (Industrial economy)
• Expansion in trade introduction of canals, improved roads and railways.
• Infrastructure was being improved because of these modifications.
• Development of mechanization of industry
Spread of the Revolution
• 1790 United Kingdom
• 1809 Westphalia Germany
• 1825 Belgium• 1820’s Sweden
• 1870’s United States
• 1877 Japan
• 1890’s Russia
Effects of Industrialization
• Cheaper products• Increased life expectancy and better
education made available• made the urban worker more dependent
on the will of the employer than the rural worker had been.
• Children employed in factories and mines because they were smaller and cheaper
Effects of Industrialization
Positive Effects• Cheaper products• Increased life
expectancy• Better education• Better transportation
technology– Steam Engine
Negative Effects• Children employed in
factories and mines– they were smaller and
cheaper
• Rapid urbanization– Shortage of housing– Large families cram
into small apartments• Slums
URBANIZATION• People were
moving from the rural areas to work in the factories which were all in the cities.
• People moved from farms to cities.
Pollution• Massive amounts of pollution filled the air
and soot covered the trees and stained the brick buildings
Industry’s affect on the environment
• Hydro-electric dams
• Pollution
• Deforestation
• What other ways have industry affected the environment?
• A change in society from an agrarian (farming) culture to an industrial culture
• More people working and moving to the cities to work in factories
• Factories mass produce goods for society which makes more and cheaper products
The Transcontinental railroad connected the east and west coast of the United States
Push Factors / Pull Factors
• Push Factors – Bad things that
push people away from someplace
• Pull Factors– Good things that
pull people into somewhere else
Push Factors / Pull Factors
• What Push / Pull Factors caused Industrialization / Urbanization?
Less Developed Countries• The words ‘Less
Developed’ refer to the lack of developed industry in these countries.
• Typically less developed countries are agrarian
Industry continues…• New technology is always being
developed which allows us to adapt– Development of air
conditioning– Desalinization Plants
(removing salt from salt water)
What other adaptations have we developed?
Desalinization plant in Israel
Negatives:
1.Expensive to Build
2.Expensive to Maintain
3.Doesn’t always work
4.Energy Intensive
5.Emits Greenhouse Gases
Pros/Cons of Desalinization
Pro• Fresh water from salt
water– Saline means salt
water
• Desert countries can turn nearby ocean water into fresh water
Con• Expensive ($$$$)• Uses more energy• Emits greenhouse
gases• Can create water
pollution
What invention benefited the Southern United States?
1940 Population Density
2010 Population Density
