Why did people build most early factories along rivers?
Factories need transportation to bring in supplies needed inside the factory and to ship what is produced in the factory out to stores, the public, etc. Early factories didn't have the use of railroad and trucking transportation, so the quickest way for these early factories to bring things to the factory and ship goods out of the factory was by water. Therefore, they were built along waterways like rivers.
What was a bigger revolution in transport the wheel or the steam engine?
the wheel because without the wheel the steam engine would have nothing to power :P

How did the steam engine work?
Water is boiled in a boiler and the steam is used to force a piston up and down. The crank of the piston is attached to the outside of a wheel, like a railway engine. As the piston goes up and down, the wheel turns. The turning wheel can drive a locomotive, or any kind of tractor, grinding mill, pump etc.

Which process could be compared to how rushing steam turns a water wheel?
The process of rushing steam turning a water wheel can be compared to the concept of using a turbine to convert kinetic energy into mechanical energy. In this case, the steam would be the source of the kinetic energy, which is then harnessed to turn the water wheel, similar to how a turbine harnesses energy to generate electricity.
