Industrial Revolution

2. Why did the Industrial Revolution
happen? Why in Britain?

3. Sources of water

4. 1. Navigable rivers
Trade within the country

5. 2. Natural harbours
Ships can move easily,
make trade easier

6. Raw materials and numerous
markets

7. 3. Colonies supplied with abundant
raw material

8. 4. Colonies demanded goods from
the textile and iron industries

9. COAL

10. 5. Abundant deposits of coal which
are easily mined and transported.
Coal provides three
times more energy than
wood.
Coal kick-started a
revolution in XIII
century Britain, a
revolution which
transformed not only the
country but the world
itself.

11. 6. In Britain the mines were near the
sea, so ships could carry coal cheaply to
the most important market, London.

12. Scientific and technological new
ideas

13. 7. The demand for coal became larger,
but the deeper the miners went the
more water there was underground, so
it was necessary to pump water out of
the mine.

14. 8. Initially people used horse-driven
pumps, but they needed a more
effective way to draw water from much
deeper.

15. 9. In 1712 Thomas Newcomen invented
the atmospheric engine . It worked by
creating a partial vacuum by
condensing steam under a piston
within a cylinder.

16. 10. James Watt developed (1763–75) an
improved version of Newcomen's
engine, with a separate condenser.
Boulton and Watt’s early machines
used less coal than Newcomen's

17. 11. Flying shuttle

18. 12. Spinning Jenny

19. 13. The water frame
