Answer:

Steam engines use hot steam from boiling water to drive a piston (or pistons) back and forth. The movement of the piston was then used to power a machine or turn a wheel. To create the steam, most steam engines heated the water by burning coal.

Explanation:

your first question is boiling water

second question is Before steam power, most factories and mills were powered by water, wind, horse, or man. Water was a good source of power, but factories had to be located near a river.

the last one is While the Spaniard first patented a steam-operated machine for use in mining, an Englishman is usually credited with inventing the first steam engine. In 1698, Thomas Savery, an engineer and inventor, patented a machine that could effectively draw water from flooded mines using steam pressure.

umka2103 [35]

Answer:

We will notice that even though they were written within a period of just over a decade and mostly by the same people, the differences are quite clear between them.

Explanation:

Gemiola [76]

Answer:

The executive branch only has powers that it can use to influence economic decision during crisis but can not expand it.

Explanation:

It must however be stated that the executive branch should be empowered and allowed to expand its constitutional powers so as to take proactive measures to stem down the crisis that might hit the nation so bad. The issue of waiting for deliberation by the congress may lead to delay as a result of different views from different political parties.

If the executive is allowed to expand its powers during economic crisis, the damage that ought to have been done might be slow down and bring back to normality based on the fact that the executive with its board members , parastatal , ministries are the ones that will be initiating and executing various policies to be adopted.
