Question

Differences between scientific and industrial revolutions

Answer 1

Answer:

The scientific revolution favored intellectual and practical pursuits, while the industrial revolution favored automation and increased production in labor.

Explanation:

The scientific revolution occurred during the Renaissance period, and placed an emphasis on curiosity and the expansion of the current scope of human knowledge. Up until this point, the Catholic Church had controlled nearly all knowledge pertaining to science. We remember names like Galileo, Da Vinci, etc. for their contributions from this time.

The industrial revolution came about during a time when manufactured goods were becoming an increasing commodity. Thanks to new inventions (many of which were pioneered during the scientific revolution, I should mention), workers could produce many times the amount of goods and with only a fraction of the labor. Fossil fuels emerged as a dominant fuel source at this time.
