Industrial Revolution Concept Map Overview
The Industrial Revolution was the shift from hand production to machine-based manufacturing that began in Britain in the late 1700s and spread across Europe and North America. A concept map divides it into causes such as agricultural change and coal, key technologies like the steam engine and spinning jenny, industrial sectors, social effects, and the lasting changes to cities and work.
- Causes: agricultural surplus, coal, capital, colonial trade and population growth
- Key inventions: spinning jenny, water frame, steam engine and power loom
- Industries: textiles, iron, coal mining and railways
- Social effects: factory work, urbanization and child labor reforms
Use the map to review causes and effects before a test, then create a personalized version from your own notes with CogniGuide.
