The Importance Of Steam Engines During The Industrial Revolution

Coal, Iron, and Steam Engines.
One of the most important and main parts of the Industrial Revolution was the invention of steam power. The invention of the steam engine made many changes to transportation, including steam powered trains. Steam powered trains are vehicles that run on rails or tracks and are powered by steam engines. They were first made to move goods and other items, then began to move people. Even though they were a huge part of transportation in the 19th and 20th century, other methods of transportation eventually replaced them.
The Steam engine was crucial to Britain's Industrial Revolution. The steam engine used coal as fuel because it seemed there was an unlimited supply of coal. This led to an expansion in the coal industry. Processes using coal led to the Iron industry. Britain's natural resources included a large surplus of crude iron which was called pig iron. Puddling is the process were coke (from coal), was used to burn away the imperfections in the crude iron to leave a much more high quality iron behind. Puddling changed the way iron was mad and was significant to the Industrial Revolution in Britain.. This iron was used to make build new machines, like trains.
Railroads were introduced in the 18th century as a more efficient way to move resources and goods. …show more content…
This engine made many changes to the world at the time. The steam engine was used in trains. These trains moved goods and other products. After a while, the later trains could carry passengers and move up to fifty miles per hour. People also wanted to attach steam engines onto boats. These boats also started the same way. They first carried goods and trading materials. The later boats became what it seemed like old fashioned cruises. They were described as beautiful in every way possible. The steam engine helped make jobs, offer transportation to people to and goods, and also help the overall
