Economic Activities and Their Types

The video tutorial explains the different types of economic activities: primary, secondary, tertiary, and quaternary. Primary activities involve the production of raw materials like crops and minerals. Secondary activities, or manufacturing, add value to these raw materials, making them more useful. The modern manufacturing industry is characterized by large-scale production, machinery, and research. Tertiary activities support primary and secondary activities through services like transport and banking, while quaternary activities include education and technology.
