Mining is an example of primary production.
Primary production involves the extraction and harvesting of natural resources from the environment. In the case of mining, natural resources such as minerals, metals, coal, and oil are extracted from the earth. These raw materials are then processed and transformed into products that can be used by industries and consumers.
Secondary production involves the manufacturing and processing of raw materials into finished products, while tertiary production involves the provision of services such as transportation, education, and healthcare. Advanced production is not a commonly used term in economics, but it may refer to production methods that involve advanced technology and innovation.
