The graph below shows the production levels of the main kinds of fuel in the UK between 1981 and 2000. Summarise the information by selecting and reporting the main features, and make comparisons where relevant.
The line graph compares the
production
levels of three primary fuel types in the UK between 1981 and 2000.
Overall
, it is evident that petroleum production
consistently maintained the highest number of energy units over the two decades despite some fluctuations. Coal production
witnessed a significant decline, while
the production
of natural gas experienced substantial growth over the period.
Petroleum production
rose from 90 million
tonnes
in 1981 to 140 million
tonnes
in 1987 and remained at this
level until 1990. The following three years saw a temporary drop to 100 million
tonnes
, but production
then
climbed again, reaching approximately 140 million
tonnes
by 2000.
In contrast
, coal production
declined over the 20 years, with a sharp drop in 1983. The figure bottomed out in 1984 at 39 million
tonnes
. Despite a brief rebound to 60 million
tonnes
in 1985, the production
level decreased steadily, finishing at around 35 million
tonnes
by 2000. Meanwhile, the production
of natural gas increased steadily throughout the period. It surpassed coal production
after 1991, and continued to rise, reaching 100 million
tonnes
in 2000.Submitted by runyaokou on
