1. impinge = strike
The word impinge can have various meanings, but in the case above, it means to strike. When 'the rain impinge[d] upon the earth,' it means that it started raining, the rain started striking the earth. To impinge means that something starts, and usually something negative.
2. garrulous = loquacious
The word garrulous refers to someone who talks excessively, likes to talk a bit too much, and usually about something trivial. Loquacious is a fancy word to denote the same thing, although it has a more positive connotation - it refers to someone who can speak nicely.
3. pious = religious
The word pious comes from the Latin word pius, which means dutiful. So when English took this word from Latin, it added a different suffix (-ous), and gave it the meaning of being 'dutiful to God.' So nowadays, pious refers to someone who is devoutly religious.
4. ruinous = dilapidated
The word ruinous refers to something which is in ruins, which is falling apart. The word which means the same thing is dilapidated - both of these words are usually used to describe buildings that are very old, and derelict, and are practically in ruins.
I think talked is a different noun for spoke

The early discoveries of the Scientific revolution were primarily about the solar system and the nature of matter. But these led to more scientific inquiry about forces (Descartes, Newton, Kepler) and development of formulae used to calculate and predict outcomes.
These came to be applied by the inventors at the start of the industrial revolution, especially in the development of the steam engine (Newcomen, Watt) which allowed for increased production of goods and faster travel over greater distances.
