1. BELLWORK: 2/19 1.Describe the changes made in communication during the Industrial Revolution. 2.Describe the changes made in transportation during the Industrial Revolution. Read “An Industrial City” – pg. 381….. 3.How did Manchester become an industrial city? 4.What happened to the Irwell River? 5.THINKER: How do cities today compare/contrast with cities of the 1800’s?

2. Transportation and Communication The Industrial Revolution was also characterized by advances in transportation and communication. Transcontinental Railroad: U.S. railroad running from the east to west coast The increase in railroads allowed goods to be shipped faster and cheaper. Telegraph : Samuel Morse perfected it using a system called Morse Code Telephone : Alexander Graham Bell; by 1900 (30 years after its invention), 1.5 million telephones were in use.

10. Environmental Effects of Industrialization How an industrialized world impacted air, water, and land

11. Discussion Read “An Industrial City” – pg. 381….. 3.How did Manchester become an industrial city? 4.What happened to the Irwell River? 5.THINKER: How do cities today compare/contrast with cities of the 1800’s?

16. Citarum River (Indonesia) Most polluted river today! 5 million people live in this basin Used to support agriculture, water supply, fishery, industry, sewerage and electricity More than 500 factories line the river and dump toxic waste into the water Also the source of water for the main profit…… rice!

17. Environmental Problems - Air With the race for industrialization, many countries began to exploit their natural resources (especially coal, oil, and gas) all with little regard to the environment. Coal was needed to power the steam engines that would run machines and trains, but coal also released huge amounts of carbon into the atmosphere. The combination of smoke and fog produced smog, which was visible as a thick blanket over cities. This caused thousands of deaths due to respiratory diseases.

22. Environmental Problems - Water Water was another prime resource used for running machines in factories. Factories dumped toxic industrial waste into nearby rivers. Due to dense populations, the cities had no proper system of sewage disposal, so rivers were also contaminated for personal use. During the Industrial Revolution, there was no running water – everything came from rivers; therefore, the contaminated, toxic, filthy, sewage water was also used as drinking water. This caused water-borne diseases like cholera or typhoid fever to wipe out a huge portion of the population. (Especially the working class).

24. Environmental Problems - Land With large amounts of populations moving to the cities for work, land was being exploited to build homes or more factories. This meant cutting down forest areas and loss of natural habitats. Many factories used empty space as land fills for their trash and toxic waste. This lead to a spread of disease

27. CLOSURE Explain the advantages and disadvantages of the Industrial Revolution.
