How did steam-powered transportation affect commerce during this era?
Steam power resulted in severe environmental damage that harmed agriculture, thus affecting commerce negatively.
Steam power had no significant effect on commerce due to limited adoption rate by traders at that time period.
Increased speed and volume of goods transported over long distances improved trade efficiency significantly.
Steam power reduced trade because it was too expensive to implement widely for transport purposes.
