What two technologies made the building of skyscrapers possible in the late 1800s?
One technology that made skyscrapers possible would be the elevator. The other, I suspect is structural steel.
What innovations influenced skyscrapers?
Throughout the history of architecture, there has been a continual quest for height. Thousands of workers toiled on the pyramids of ancient Egypt, the cathedrals of Europe and countless other towers, all striving to create something awe-inspiring. People build skyscrapers primarily because they are convenient -- you can create a lot of real estate out of a relatively small ground area. The driving force behind skyscrapers is building materials, primarily concrete and steel. This and the engineering of these structures, which had to develop with their conception, is what made them possible.

Who did the bessemer steel process help?
Steel gave us the ability to make very tall buildings because the skeleton of a building is made using steel allowing man to make skyscrapers. The use of skyscrapers also meant that there was a need for elevators. The Bessemer process reduced the cost of producing steel, and it fueled the industrial revolution in Europe. It allowed skyscrapers, bridges, railroads, large ships and other things to be made less expensively. One version of the Bessemer process helped farmers since phosphates were a byproduct.

Why are skyscrapers shorter in California citites than other cities in the US?
California experiences earthquakes frequently as compared to other States. Skyscrapers are more vulnerable to the shaking during an earthquake than shorter buildings. So they don't build as high in California.
