9 a trip from london to edinburgh was reduced from 12 days to 4 days between 1750 and 1800 due to improved roads.
10 in england, steam locomotives reduced the cost of shipping goods by over 60 percent.

Explanation:

Question 1

A steam engine converts heat (from steam) into motion, not motion into heat. So the statement is false.

After the steam engine was refined, it provided a new power source, so factories didn't need to rely on waterwheels (which depended on water flow) for power. The statement is true.

Steam - powered pumps were used to remove water from deep coal mines, which would decrease, not increase, the flooding problem. So the statement is false.

Answer:

False
