How did railroad expansion make natural resources more available in the united states?

a) by increasing the amount of natural resource deposits

b) by making it possible for natural resources to be transported to different cities and towns

c) by using natural resources to build tracks and train equipment

d) by transporting people to cities and towns where they could purchase natural resources

The correct answer is - B) by making it possible for natural resources to be transported to different cities and tows.

The expansion and development of the railroads was revolutionary in many aspects, one of which was the availability of natural resources. Before the railroad expansion, the natural resources couldn't be transported to distant location, or only in smaller amounts. While that is not a big problem for the resources like the gold, the ones like the coal and timber are not economically justified nor are of great use if they are transported in small amounts. So once the railroad expansion took place, this all changed, and the natural resources were now possible to be delivered in large amounts over long distances without problems.

explanation: we can only guess at how our actions may be perceived in the future. doing something really big like killing lots of people, saving lots of people, affecting the lives of lots of people is a sure fire way of being remembered in historical records. we can also make a difference in the history records by being a small influence on something bigger, whether that is as a civil servant, scientist or artist.

of course you could argue that we all affect history just as tiny cogs in a   bigger machine.

if you mean how do people influence our opinions of things which have already happened, then simply by writing a book which looks at things form a different perspective and trying to convince people that this perspective is more accurate or truthful. people do it all the time i.e. richard the third was a terrible or was he? plenty would disagree, it's just that their views aren't the most widely known.n:
