Everything changed during the Industrial Revolution, which began around 1750. People found an extra source of energy with an incredible capacity for work. That source was fossil fuels — coal, oil, and natural gas, though coal led the way — formed underground from the remains of plants and animals from much earlier geologic times. When these fuels were burned, they released energy, originally from the Sun, that had been stored for hundreds of millions of years. Coal was formed when huge trees from the Carboniferous period (345– 280 million years ago) fell and were covered with water, so that oxygen and bacteria could not decay them. Instead, the pressure of the weight of materials above them compressed them into dark, carbonic, ignitable rock. Most of the Earth’s oil and gas formed over a hundred million years ago from tiny animal skeletons and plant matter that fell to the bottom of seas or were buried in sediment. This organic matter was compacted by the weight of water and soil. Coal, oil, and gas, despite their relative abundance, are not evenly distributed on Earth; some places have much more than others, due to geographic factors and the diverse ecosystems that existed long ago. Early Steam Engines
The story of the Industrial Revolution begins on the small island of Great Britain. By the early 18th century, people there had used up most of their trees for building houses and ships and for cooking and heating. In their search for something else to burn, they turned to the hunks of black stone (coal) that they found near the surface of the earth. Soon they were digging deeper to mine it. Their coal mines filled with water that needed to be removed; horses pulling up bucketfuls proved slow going.
It’s was very hard for them. They spent there life in caves,wrap in animal skin and tree leaves over their body and hunt animals for food. With time they discovered many good things like fire,tools,farming etc. that made there life better than earlier. But these changes in early human’s life had taken a long time. Hope that helped!❤️
Answer: the correct answer is D) encourages a private solution to a particular positive-externality problem.
Explanation: it encourages a private solution because the government reduces taxes if private companies donate to charities. Donating to charities is a positive externality because it contributes to the common welfare of a country.
Native American populations declined rapidly due to a lack of immunity to disease
Explanation:
At that time, many Europeans who came to American continent carried out viruses that could cause diseases such as smallpox, influenza, and measles within their body.
When they "Encountered" The native Americans, these viruses passed on to the Natives and infected them.
Because the natives have lack of immunity to disease (they never experienced diseases like that in their life) , the effect to their body is much greater compared to the Europeans. This led to large amount of death among Native Americans.
