Which accurately describes a scientific innovation of the renaissance and its impact? the bessemer method increased the production of steel and led to growth of cities. the mariner's compass aided navigation and eventual discovery of the americas. aqueducts enabled the roman empire to channel and control their water supply. the cotton gin increased the speed of production for products such as clothing?

Answer 1

The Mariner's compass aided navigation and eventual discovery of the Americas would be the only one that happened during the Renaissance. The rest of these items happened outside of that time. The Bessemer & Cotton Gin were both industrial era events and the aqueducts were ancient during the Roman era. The compass allowed for better navigation and for people to use a sextent and map, because they need to know north and latitude to figure out the longitude.
