    It is the economic activities which human perform to meet their


    various requirements.

    The choice of occupation depends upon the environment. Which


    differs from regions to regions and place to place so the human
    occupations differ place to place

    There are 3 types of occupation:

    1)primary occupation

    2)secondary occupation and

    3)tertiary occupations
    People engaged in various occupations are dependent on each other
    people engaged in primary occupations supply food and raw materials
    to those who are engaged in secondary occupation. The people from
    secondary occupation use those materials and provide finished
    product to the tertiary occupation.

    And the people from tertiary supply those materials to us.

    the purpose of timber. Lumbering is divided into two types, namely
    lumbering in the temperate forests and lumbering in the tropical
    forests. Sweden, finland, Russia, Norway, Canada and the USA. These
    countries have rich-soft wood forests and lumbering is developed on
