- (D) Primary economic activities (III) are at the beginning of the production
cycle where humans are in closest contact with resources and the
environment. Primary economic activities are located at the site of the
natural resources being exploited.
Secondary economic activities (I) use raw materials to produce or
manufacture something new and more valuable. Examples of secondary
activities include manufacturing, processing, producing power, and
construction.
Tertiary economic activities (IV) include all activities that amount to
doing services for others (e.g., doctors, clerks, restaurant and hotel staff,
etc.).
Quaternary economic activities (II) are not connected to resources, access
to a market, or the environment. Rather, they include professions that
process, administer, and disseminate information (e.g., computer engineers,
lawyers, etc., and loom large in highly advanced, developed societies).
