act. tenant farmers forced off farms, moved to cities (urban areas) to find work in factories.

19
New cards

The War of 1812

pitted the United States in a war against Great Britain, from whom the American colonies had won their independence in 1783. When the British interfered with American trade, the Americans had to create their own factories instead of relying on Europe.

20
New cards

Smog, soot

These factors led to the depletion of natural resources. Factories would spew ____ and ____ into the air and release pollutants and chemicals directly into rivers and streams, resulting in increased air and water pollution.

21
New cards

Fossil fuels

The Industrial Revolution saw an increased use of ______ _____, including coal. Early factories polluted a lot. Cities in the 1800s were incredibly polluted. Living conditions were usually very bad.

22
New cards

in Effects of Different Industries on Environment. Emission of carbon dioxide, methane and other waste products that pollute the air and are believed to contribute to global climate change.

24
New cards

Global Cement Industry

in Effects of Different Industries on Environment. Contribute 5% of global carbon dioxide emission.

25
New cards

Electronics Industry

in Effects of Different Industries on Environment. This results in a large amount of hazardous household waste that is often irresponsibly discarded in trash. When electronics are not recycled properly, the raw materials then leech toxic chemicals into the ground, spoiling both water and food supply for decades, at least.

26
New cards

Chemicals Industry

in Effects of Different Industries on Environment. Climate changes across the global fertilizers consists of substances and chemicals like methane, carbon dioxide, ammonia and nitrogen, the emission of which has contributed to a great extent in the quantity of greenhouse gases present in the environment. This in turn is leading to global warming and weather changes.

27
New cards

Textiles Industry

in Effects of Different Industries on Environment. During the production of textiles a large amount of energy is used to power the factories. This then creates more pollution such as carbon dioxide.

28
New cards

Mining Industry

in Effects of Different Industries on Environment.

− Water pollution

− Loss of biodiversity

− Soil erosion and pollution

− Formation of sink holes

29
New cards

Food and Beverage Industry

in Effects of Different Industries on Environment.

− Food accounts for over a quarter (26%) of global gas emissions.

− Half of the world's habitable (ice and desert free) land is used for agriculture.

30
New cards

Industrialization

the process that takes an agricultural economy and transforms it into a manufacturing one. Mass production and assembly lines replace manual and specialized laborers. The process has historically led to urbanization by creating economic growth and job opportunities that draw people to cities.

31
New cards

Urbanization

People started to move close to their factory jobs. This movement led to bigger cities. ____________ is an effect of Industrialization.

32
New cards

Urbanization

the process through which cities grow, and higher and higher percentages of the population comes to live in the city.

33
New cards

Emigrant, immigrant

An ________ is someone who moves away from a country. An _________ is someone who moves to a different country. Both words can apply to the same person

34
New cards

Leaving, coming

The difference is that emigration is _______ and immigration is ______—an emigrant is someone who moves away, while an immigrant is someone who moves in

35
New cards
