Explanation:

The Industrial Revolution was caused by several factors including the availability of natural resources like coal and iron - ore which provided the raw materials for industrial production. The growth of overseas trade created a large market for goods, spurring demand. Technological innovations such as the steam engine and mechanized looms revolutionized production methods. The enclosure movement in agriculture freed up a large labor force for factories. Also, a stable political environment and a culture of innovation and entrepreneurship in some countries contributed to the rise of industrialization.

Answer:

The causes of the Industrial Revolution included availability of natural resources, growth of overseas trade, technological innovations, a released labor - force from agriculture (due to enclosure movement), and a favorable political and cultural environment.
