Question

The graph below shows the production levels of main fuels in a European country from1981 to 2000.The line graph illustrates the level of production of main types of fuels in a particular European nation between 1981 and 2000.Overall, it is clear that while the production of coal experienced a downward trend over the 19-year period, the reverse was true for petroleum and natural gas. Additionally, petroleum was the type of fuel which was produced the most throughout the years recorded.Starting at exactly 80 tonnes, the amount of coal generated sharply dropped to around 50 tonnes in 1985, which was followed by a considerable rise to over 70 tonnes three years later. After that, the figures gradually declined to nearly 40 tonnes, which was the lowest production measured over the period.Turning to petroleum and natural gas, while the former’s production level underwent a number of sharp fluctuations to end up at about 120 tonnes, which was just approximately 20 tonnes higher than its figure in the beginning year, that of the latter remained unchanged at 40 tonnes during the first 13 years, before doubling to 80 tonnes in 2000.

The line graph illustrates the instruction about the manufacturing altitudes in a European nation, which is deliberated in million tonners between 1981 and 2000. It presents three main fuels ( petroleum, coal, and natural gas ).

Overall, it is clear that natural gas upsurge in production. However, at the same time both petroleum and coal had some fluctuations.

In 1981, the ratio of petroleum being produced by a European society was the highest among these three fuels; exactly at 100 tonners. It increased sharply over the next few years and reached around 130 million tonner (in 1985), and remained steady until 1989. However, it dropped back to 100 tonners in 1993. While manufactured rates again grew to almost 130 tonners in 1997. Moreover, the production amount fluctuated slightly until the end of the period.

In early 1981, coal was the second most-produced fuel (at 80 tonners) by a European province, then it stands at steadily remained the next four periods. After that, it starts decreased considerably (in 1989) at precisely at 50 (million) tonners. Whilst, it rose merely 70 (million tonners) in 1993. Furthermore, the fabrication figure was steadily declined over the next thirteen spans (from 1993 to 2000). In contrast, the formulation of natural gas persist stabled at 40 tonnes until 1993. While it rose rapidly and reached approximately under the 60 (tonners) in 1997, exceeding coal rank in 1997. Also, reaching its peak (just under the 80 tonners) in 2001 at the end of the stage.
