Explanation:
Detailed explanation-1: -People were now able to travel greater distances because they could not only travel on land via the railroad but on water via steamboats. Until the steam engine was created there was only a few ways people could get around either by land or by boat. The railroad system revolutionized transportation.
Detailed explanation-2: -The steam engine resulted in the creation of semi-automated factories, and it increased goods production in places where water power was not available.
