The secondary sector involves manufacturing and is based around four types of industries: energy industries that supply energy resources, construction industries that build infrastructure, base industries that transform raw materials into semi-finished goods like steel and glass, and goods industries that use these semi-finished materials to produce consumer products like cars, clothing, and electronics. Raw materials are transformed through multiple steps, with base industries creating intermediate materials that are then used by goods industries to make finished products.

THE SECONDARY SECTOR
It is based on MANUFACTURING. Manufacturing is a process where raw materials are transformed /changed/turned into other products.
TYPES: 1. Energy industries 2. Construction industries 3. Base industries 4. Goods industries
1. Energy industries They supply us with the energy that we need. This energy can be: - Non- renewable, such as coal, oil and gas. - Renewable, such as water, wind and sunlight.
2. Construction industries They use raw materials like marble, sand, limestone (to make concrete), etc. and they build bridges, streets, pavements, buildings, etc.
3. Base industries They transform raw materials into semi- finished products. These semi-finished products go to another factory and are transformed another product. STEEL IS AN EXAMPLE OF PRODUCT MADE IN BASE INDUSTRIES
1. Iron is a raw material from mining. 3. Steel is transformed into a car in GOODS INDUSTRIES. 2. Iron is transformed into STEEL (a semi-finished product) in base industries.
1. Sand is a raw material. 3. Glass is transformed into windows in GOODS INDUSTRIES. 2. Sand is transformed into glass (a semi- finished material) in base industries.
1. Oil is a raw material from mining. 3. Plastic is transformed into a bottle in GOODS INDUSTRIES. 2. Oil is transformed into PLASTIC (a semi-finished product) in base industries.
Goods industries They use the materials producted in the base industries and transform them in goods that are sold to people, for example cars, clothing, books, electronic devices, furniture, etc.
