What is a steamboat?
A steamboat uses a steam engine similar to those on a steam locomotive. An external wood or coal fire heats water in a boiler, and the pressure of its expansion into steam is used to turn a shaft that is connected to paddlewheels, or to a propeller blade. Steamboats were the first alternative to sailing vessels, and replaced them as the major form of marine vessels. Modern steam turbines (invented in 1884) continue to be used for the generation of electricity worldwide.
What two important means of transportation improved to help the nation expand?
The two types of transport were the steamboat and the steam locomotive, I believe. The steam locomotive was sort of like a train, however it didn't have any roof. They called it the "Iron Horse." The steamboat was invented when an artist who was really interested in engineering studied an engine that ran on steam, and then designed the first steamboat. Fast travel helped people go to other places, therefore expanding our nation today.
