Secondary research involves gathering information that has already been collected by someone else. In GCSE Geography, this means looking at existing data, articles, maps, or reports to understand a topic, like climate change or population growth. Instead of collecting new data by doing surveys or experiments yourself, you use libraries, online resources, and textbooks to find the information you need. Using secondary research helps you gather facts and different viewpoints quickly and can make your study more detailed and complete.
