Explanation:

Rampant urbanization means the cities grew too large too quickly. Problems developed.

the process is called revolution because it was a process of great economic-social transformations that began in england in the xviii century.

the industrial mode of production spread throughout much of the northern hemisphere throughout the xix and early xx centuries.
