Question
Give geographical reason.
Tertiary economic activities are called service sector activities.
Solution
- There is no derivation from nature in tertiary occupations, as there is in primary activities.
- There are activities which act as the link between the primary and secondary activities and are complementary to both of them.
- These are mostly in the form of services. If you want a particular service you will have to pay for it. These include buying and selling of goods, means of transportation and communication, loading and unloading of goods, credit facilities, marketing, import and export, etc.
- Providing public services are also a part of it. Other services like knife grinders, vegetable sellers, shopkeepers, passenger’s carriers, postal services, etc. are also included in tertiary activities. All these services are called tertiary economic activities.
