Explanation:
Detailed explanation-1: -(i) More Demand of Raw-Material: There was a rapid growth in the demand for raw material. It was an effect on industrialisation. (ii) Mechanised Farming: To meet the increasing demand for more raw material the farmers used the new machines for sowing, ploughing, digging, reaping and thrashing purposes.
