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.

Which statement best describes a disadvantage of indirect democracy over direct democracy?
Xelga [282]
Indirect democracy means that people don't vote themselves, but that they choose representatives to vote for them. 

It's typically more efficient than direct democracy, because less people need to directly participate - only the representatives. 

however, the disadvantage is that some people's voices won't be heard - so the correct answer is B, for example when their representatives are not aware of them.
