Here is a simple explanation of the three sectors of the economy.
Primary: we extract raw materials: mining, fishing, farming and forestry.
Secondary: we transform raw materials into manufactured products ready to sell.
Tertiary: services including transportation.
Primary: we extract raw materials: mining, fishing, farming and forestry.
Secondary: we transform raw materials into manufactured products ready to sell.
Tertiary: services including transportation.
As we said the primary sector has four groups: Farming, Fishing, Mining and Forestry.
Remember: Arable Farming produces CROPS and other products. Irrigated Farming is when the farmers have to water their CROPS.
Deep-sea Fishing takes place far from the coast and uses big ships.
A QUARRY is an open mine where coal and minerals are extracted.
The secondary sector transforms raw materials like wood or metals into manufactured products. Normally this happens in factories. Therefore we have industries. The car industry, the textile industry, toy industry, the steel industry, etc.
The secondary sector became more important after the first industrial revolution which happened around 1784 with the invention of the steam engine.

If you want to know more about the first industrial revolution you can search on the internet or watch this video.
THE SECOND INDUSTRIAL REVOLUTION
Thomas Edison was an important inventor in the second industrial revolution. He invented the light bulb and people started to use electricity in their homes.
Three things that made possible the SECOND INDUSTRIAL REVOLUTION were:
- The use of electricity and the invention of the lamp
- The invention of the telephone
- The first cars with internal combustion

DeleteThank you Simon
DeleteThanks for the video but I do not understand the tertiary sector
ReplyDeleteCan you explain my please?
The tertiary sector is the one that doesn't produce anything physycal, an object, food, a product. It gives you a SERVICE. For instance, you need a doctor, the doctor gives you a service, you need to transport things, a transport company gives you a service. A teacher gives you a service, when you buy some shoes in a shop, they don't make the shoes, they just sell them, and it is a service. Think the primary sector is to get things from nature, the secundary is to transform them and the tertiary is to sell things which can be sometimes not physical, like when you need a lawyer. I hope it helps!
