Economic Activities activities that create products to be sold. –Examples: Commercial Fishing Task Write three economic activities next to Examples: in your notebook.
6
Four Levels of Economic Activity Rich countries have all 4 Levels of Economic Activity. Poor countries have LESS THAN 4 levels. Four Levels of Economic Activity 1. Primary 2. Secondary 3. Tertiary 4. Quaternary
7
#1. PRIMARY - Process of extracting (getting) natural resources. Any country can extract their natural resources. Example Ozarka extracts water from a well. Water Well
8
#2. SECONDARY – creating products out of the natural resource Example The Ozarka plant bottles and purifies the water they extracted. Task Choose a natural resource. Create a real-life situation that shows that resource going from the primary level to the secondary level.
9
Water Production – Is this a primary or secondary activity?
10
#3. TERTIARY - Providing professional services and the services required to distribute the products. Example Kroger sells you and I the water.
11
#4. QUATERNARY - Process of STUDYING a product research to improve on its production. Example Ozarka uses data from Utah State’s Water Research lab to increase their product’s purity. Worldwide Bottled Water Consumption

Copy this chart on your levels of economic activity page. LevelLocationWhy? Primary Secondary Tertiary Quaternary
28
Location Column - Potential Choices Urban – inner-city, downtown, high population Suburban – just outside of the city, medium population Rural – countryside, low population
29
Where do these three PRIMARY activities occur?
30
Copy this chart on your levels of economic activity page. LevelLocationWhy? PrimaryRURAL Secondary Tertiary Quaternary
31
Primary Activities – You must go the supply - Extract natural resources in rural areas. - Why? All the natural resources in urban areas have already been extracted.
32
LevelLocationWhy? PrimaryRURAL- Companies must go to the supply - Resources in urban areas have already been found Secondary Tertiary Quaternary
33
Where do SECONDARY activities occur? They want their factories to be close to their SUPPLY.
34
Where do SECONDARY activities occur? They want their factories near transportation routes. Transportation routes provide access to DEMAND.

45
Population Density of Texas Task How does population density correlate to the location of quaternary activities?
46
