You should spend about 20 minutes on this task: The graph below shows the production levels of the main kinds of fuel in the UK between 1981 and 2000. Summarize the formation by selecting and reporting the main features and make comparisons where relevant. Write at least 150 words. You should write at least 150 words.

The line graph projects the production in units of the three major fuels namely, petroleum, coal, and natural gas from 1981 to 2000 in the UK.

Overall, it is evident from the line graph that petroleum was the fuel with highest produced in from 1981 to the year 2000. Coal was the second most produced fuel in UK with a fall in production in the year 1984 and between 1991 and 1993. Lastly, production of natural gas in comparison to coal increased after 1991.

To commence with, approximately 90 units of petroleum was produced in 1981 and till 1983 there was a sharp grwoth to 140 units. Untill 1987 production of petroleum was stagnant, followed by a dip in 1990 to 100 units. Gradually the production of petroleum again boosted from year 1992 to 2000 from 105 units approximately to 140 units. Making petroleum the most produced fuel in UK.

On the other hand, coal and natural gas were the two fuels produced after petroleum. Coal production

surpassed natural gas till 1984 by 40 units but in 1984 a sleek production dip was seen. Later, which again increased to 60 units before falling to 30 units in the year 2000. A significant jump was noticed in natural gas to 100 units in 2000 from 40 units in 1981.
