What was the Neolithic or 1st Agricultural Revolution?
happened 10000 years ago. people were hunter/gatherers. multiple hearths. consisted of vegetative planting and seed agriculture.
I am not going to go into the history of each of those topics, but take into consideration the Columbian Exchange as the very beginning of the other two events, it is when America was first beginning to become the new world, and as time went on, and the Native Americans were made scarce by disease and murder, Europeans, eventually Americans, began industrializing the new world. The actual Industrial Revolution began in 1750 and the industrial age lasted until around 1914, and it was started by the second agricultural revolution occurred in the early 1700s when western Europeans began developing dikes, and combing smaller plots into larger ones to make for more efficient land use, using fertilizer, the seed drill (invented by Jethro Tull), the understanding that certain crops (turnips for example) restored exhausted soil, etc. These discoveries allowed for Americans in the new world to begin use of the land to grow new world crops, corn, potatoes, sugar cane, etc. This second agricultural revolution would lead to the industrial revolution because it allowed for mass population growth, and allowed for death by starvation to almost subside, along with increased hygiene, not only were people not starving, but they were eating healthier, medical care was improving. Next would come the development of new technologies, harnessing coal to create the steam engine, the quality of iron improved due to coal as well.
I hope this answers some of your questions, again I am not going into great detail, but this should give you somewhere to start.
The invention of new machinery
Advantages humans experienced as a result in the Neolithic agricultural revolution?
Gained a more stable food source as well as a more literate spoken language. It also allowed the human race to move forward into civilization.
What effect did the Neolithic agricultural revolution have on people's lives?
The Neolithic Revolution allowed humans to receive food much faster. However, bacteria started to become an issue because they were no longer hunting and gathering, people were in one place constantly.
What jobs were in the Neolithic agricultural revolution?
People didn't have jobs per se, but in some cases small family units would produce various goods in order to trade or use. In early neolithic pottery production became a family produced good. Flint mining and trading became important during the middle neolithic. As textiles became more common, looms and weaving equipment show in the archaeological record; again, not as a large scale production sphere but rather a community oriented good.

Who paved the way for the computer revolution?
Well in a bizarre way, Adolf Hitler. Because of his initiating WW2 it forced the British and Americans into a lot of crash R&D on calculating machines and advanced electronics that after the war converged to produce a rapid and continuing boom in computer development, most of it government funded until the late 1980s when most of the funding shifted to consumer products (much of it advanced gaming machines).
Agricultural innovations were another important factor. English farmers quickly adopted new farming practices pioneered in the Netherlands. These practices more than doubled the amount of food a single farmer could grow. This agricultural revolutionallowed farmers to feed more people. This meant more people were freed up to work in other industries besides farming. The agricultural revolution consisted of innovations such as: crop rotation, variety, intensive use of manure for fertilizer, and new technology.
The new agricultural technology included the first mass-produced iron ploughs, seed drills, and the first threshing machines. Before the seed drill, seeds were cast by hand onto the ground, and a few would sprout up by random chance. The seed drill dug rows of evenly spaced holes at a set depth, inserted seeds and covered them up. More seeds would germinate and grow at the same time. This resulted in more food harvested.
The second aspect of the agricultural revolution, the system of enclosure, requires some explanation. In theory, almost all of the land in England was owned by noble lords. However, villagers and serfs would traditionally work a part of the land and live off the harvest. Usually, this "common" land was divided among villagers each year. The plots were often small. As the population grew, the land available to each farmer and his family shrunk. The plots were usually long and narrow, so there was not enough space to use seed drills or other new technology.
Little by little, noble landlords began taking this common land and enclosing it with hedges and fences in order to pasture sheep (for wool, because new weaving technology made wool more profitable). They continued enclosing land for farming and forcibly evicting tenants. The new, larger fields were worked with the new technology, and thus much more lucrative.
All this means the answers is enclosure>
by increasing nutrients to the soil
What did the agricultural revolution accomplish?
The agricultural revolution dramatically increased a farmer's ability to produce crops. The technique of crop rotation allowed farm land to be used continually. Machinery allowed ever larger areas to be worked
What is the meaning of Neolithic?
The Neolithic period, also known as the New Stone Age, refers to a time in prehistory characterized by the development of agriculture, animal domestication, and settled communities. It is a significant transition from a nomadic, hunter-gatherer lifestyle to a more sedentary way of life. This era saw the emergence of pottery, weaving, and the use of polished stone tools.
What is an environmental revolution?
it is a change in environmental conditions, but not just any change but rather a severe change that is noticeable by everyone and it stays that way
What conditions helped the Industrial Revolution to take root in Great Britian?
a few off the top of my head
enclosure movement- property became a commodity, no more "common grounds" see growth of wool trade
agricultural revolution-farming became more efficient and commercialized. This not only created surplus capital for private investment (for industry, technology). Also ag. thus required less labor and made possible a labor surplus (workers for factories in urban areas)
Limited aristocracy (limited from the time of william the conquer) . - unlike France with its many aristocrats that thought work or commerce was beneath them, the landed gentry in England (upper class though different from the aristocracy) were more willing to engage in investment and enterprise.
geography- GB was an island thus spared (directly) from the Continent's wars
Abundant Coal deposits - steam power (engine was invented by Watt in Scotland) \
political stability made progress possible
spirit of limited government, goes back to the Magna Carter, Supremacy of Parliament firmly est. post the English civil war
How did the agriculture revolution affect the Industrial Revolution?
Affected live stock breeders and their methods
During the agricultural revolution what caused farmers to produce more crops?
Selection of crops that had higher yields over thousands of years, implementation of technologies that increased yield including the plow, irrigation, and more recently, tractors, fertilizers, and genetic modification of crops.
What crops did Indian cultures plant together to form the basis for an agricultural revolution?
Tobacco, maize, squash, chilies
Mass development of farm labor-saving machinery brought on the Agricultural Revolution.?
The mass development of farm labor saving machinery created the agricultural revolution. One of the labor saving machines was called the cotton gin.
How was the Communication during agricultural revolution?
I would say they started using steam engines by then if your talk9ng about the later ones
What was not part of the agricultural revolution that took place during the Ming Dynasty?
The Grand Canal was first built.
