Unit 5: Secondary and Tertiary Industries
World Geography
3200/02
2. Secondary sectorinvolves turning a raw material or resource into a finished product
for people to buy.Also called the manufacturing or processing sector.
3. Tertiary sector– The focus is on the sale and use of economic goods
and providing services to people. – Often referred to as the service industry.
4. Quaternary industry— This sector focuses on intellectual services:
Research, development and information— Information services (accounting, banking)
Background: Four Sectors of
Economy1. Primary sector
involves the collection / extracting of raw materials / resources from the earth through farming, fishing, mining, and forestry.
Primary, Secondary, Tertiary, or Quaternary
• Write down in your notes if each of the following pictures is primary, secondary, tertiary, or quaternary.
• The person with the most correct gets a prize!!!
Inputs: Materials and other factors that are entered into a manufacturing system
They can be classified as human and natural:
Human
Labour
Machines
Capital
Natural
Wood
Metals
Water
Identify natural and human inputs in amanufacturing operation.
How Socks Are Made
The processes in a manufacturing operation include all human activities that transform a resource into a finished product
Manufacturing process usually employ tools or machines to help in the transformation
Manufacturing is about adding value, the processes in the manufacturing operation must add value to the resource
A Systems Analysis of the processes in manufacturing.
Process: Any action that alters the inputs of a system into some other usable form.
In manufacturing there are three types of processes:
1. Conditioning
2. Analytical
3. Synthesis
Three processes that may be
used to change a raw material into a
useable form.
1. Conditioning:minimal change to a resource.Ex: logs into lumber or fish into fillets.

2. Analytical:resource converted to a number of different products.
5.1.3 continued.
3. Synthetic:several resources are COMBINED to make one product.
Ex: light bulb has glass, tungsten, nitrogen & aluminum.Motor vehicles….

Outputs: The end product of the manufacturing process
The key is that the finished product must have greater value than the sum of its parts
