The first chart below shows how energy is used in an average Austrailian household. The second chart shows the greenhouse gas emissions which result from this energy use. Summarize the information by selecting and reporting the main features.
The pie charts describe the shares of
use
of household energy
in Australia and how they affect greenhouse
gas emissions
.
It is clear that
most of the energy
is used for heating in an average Australian household, whereas
water heating is responsible for the greater portion of greenhouse
emissions
. Despite, heating stands at 42%, it causes less than a quarter of emissions
.
In addition
, the percentages of refrigeration and lighting are twice higher
on the chart of Correct word choice
as high
emissions
than on the chart of the use
of energy
. In contrast
, Australian families use
the least energy
for cooling, only 2%, and it also
has the least impact on greenhouse
emissions
.
All in all, the represented year can not be read from the charts, hence
, the actuality of the information is questionable. As far as the technologies have improved in this
couple of years, we can approximately predict that the ratios of energy
use
and greenhouse
gas emission will change.Submitted by chfannimr on
