The expansion and development of the railroads was revolutionary in many aspects, one of which was the availability of natural resources. Before the railroad expansion, the natural resources couldn't be transported to distant location, or only in smaller amounts. While that is not a big problem for the resources like the gold, the ones like the coal and timber are not economically justified nor are of great use if they are transported in small amounts. So once the railroad expansion took place, this all changed, and the natural resources were now possible to be delivered in large amounts over long distances without problems.

Darina [25.2K]

Answer:

<h3> b. small, incremental adjustment.</h3>

Explanation:

In economics, the term marginal change implies to small incremental change in the existing trend of the market or economy. Marginal change does not usually affect the whole economy but may result in a slight difference in the aggregate results.

For example, if a retailer raises the price of a product from $9 to $10 due to increase in marginal cost of the product, it is a marginal change.

Or suppose the average cost of a bus ticket to the next city cost $20 and the total cost of the 40 seats is $800 dollars. But imagine if three seats remained empty and one passenger who did not book a seat wants to pay $15 for a ticket, the driver will willingly accept the offer because although the average cost of a ticket is $20, the marginal cost is merely the cost of the ticket. The driver has to recover gas money from all the three empty seats.

Answer:

Yes, in my opinion reading and books can still have that power.

Explanation:

Reading is one of the healthiest activities for a person as it modifies and enhances the thoughts of a person. Reading allows our mind to think differently and look at situations with a broader perspective. Many self-helping books encourage people to know the real cause of their existence and their worth and hence in this way books help in treating depression or suicidal thoughts.

No matter how many advances the world makes, reading will always have power and help people in giving a vision.

A disaster costs more where there is poverty and lack of awareness.explain.

Mnenie [13.5K]

If people are unaware of the potential dangers of a disaster, they will be less prepared for it because they do not know about it. Thus, they will be affected more. Poverty affects individuals more because they will not be able to rebuild or recover as easily due to a lack of money or resources.
