Furthermore, thedevelopment of agricultural machinery made it possible for fewer people to do the same (14) of work.Thus, at the same time when the industrial revolution made it possible to produce goods more (15) and more quickly in factories, agricultural revolution also took

Instead of using only animal fertilizer, farmers began to use chemical fertilizers to keep the soil rich. These methods have enabled French farmers, for example, to get

But over the last several years, he and other scientists have found (14) signs that the Pacific Northwest has experienced giant quakes in the distant past

While some remain unconvinced that huge earthquakeswith magnitudes of
