The given line graphs compare the volumes of Australia’s trade with different countries over a 4-year period between 2002 and 2005. The data includes three countries: China, the USA, and Japan.
Overall, it is evident that the amounts of imports and exports between Australia and Japan experienced substantial growth, whereas this trend pattern with the USA exhibited a gradual increase, then declined considerably by the end. Meanwhile, the volume of exports between Australia and China underwent a fluctuation, and the amounts of imports increased substantially by the end.
In detail, the volume of imports between Australia and China was recorded at around 4.4 units, while this number declined to 2,5 units by 2003. In contrast, it increased substantially to 4.5 units by 2005. Meanwhile, the volume of exports accounted for nearly 2. 5 units, then climbed to 4.5 units and dropped markedly to 1.7 units in 2004, and reached around 3 units by 2005.
Moreover, the trade patterns between Australia and the USA increased gradually from 2.5 to 3.1 units (exports) and from 1.5 to 2.3 units until 2004. Conversely, by 2005, both units decreased modestly to 2.8 and 2 units, respectively.
However, the volume of imports and exports between Australia and Japan witnessed substantial growth from roughly 1.1 to 2.6 units and from 0.8 to 1.6 units by 2004. Between 2004 and 2005, the volume of exports stayed at relatively the same level, while the figure for imports rose slightly to 1.7 units by the end.
