Answer:

see explanation below

Explanation:

The Mining Boom: 1879 – 1893 In 1879 the first prospectors arrived in what would soon become Aspen and determined the area contained large deposits of silver ore. For the next 14 years Aspen’s fortunes rose as it eventually produced 1/6th of the nation’s and 1/16th of the world’s silver. A town often becomes a ghost town because the economic activity that supported it has failed, or due to natural or human-caused disasters such as floods, prolonged droughts, government actions, uncontrolled lawlessness, war, pollution, or nuclear disasters. Boomtowns are typically extremely dependent on the single activity or resource that is causing the boom (e.g., one or more nearby mines, mills, or resorts), and when the resources are depleted or the resource economy undergoes a "bust" (e.g., catastrophic resource price collapse), boomtowns can often decrease in size as fast as they initially grew

Answer with Explanation:

<u>Mass production</u> refers to the increase quantities of production of particular products by using technology.

In the <u>middle of the 18th century,</u> mass production increased due to people's investment in machinery. This also affected the agricultural sector of Europe, which led to mechanizing the work in this sector. It even became more prominent in the 19th century. In order to increase the output of the workers, new production processes were employed. So, this attracted the wealthy merchants of the time to invest in those machines, so their businesses would flourish. From the agricultural sector, it led to increase production in textile manufacturing, chemical manufacturing and the like.
