the graph below shows the quantities of goods tansported in the UK between 1974 and 2002 by four modes of transport. summarize the information, and make a comp arison. write at least 150 words.

The line graph provides information about the total number of products shipped in the United Kingdom in four distinct routes from 1974 to 2002. The unit is measured in

million

tonnes

.

Overall

, it can be seen from the graph that the transport of materials by road was high not only at the onset but

also

at the end

of the year. Both routes of shipping experienced a different trend throughout the year.

While

water and Rail transportation were quite similar

initially

, rail surpassed it

at the end

of the year with more products.

To begin

with, exporting of goods by road stood at just above 60

million

tonnes

in 1974,

however

, the figure decreased gradually to approximately 80 in 20 years until it skyrocketed to almost 100

million

tonnes

in the

last

period.

By contrast

as well as

export of materials was almost similar in 1974, 40

,

nonetheless

marine mode of exporting showed many significant changes. It increased gradually in the next 2 years by almost 58 and plateaued in the next 10 years.

Nevertheless

, rail did not show significant improvements, in fact, it fluctuated from 1978 to 1998. Surprisingly, the pipeline did not export any materials at the onset

nevertheless

it recorded a sharp increase to about 25

million

tonnes

in 1982 and remained relatively stable from 1982 to 1990.
