The graph below shows the three different kinds of emission sources (oil / coal / gas) of greenhouse gas in the UK. Summarise the information by selecting and reporting the main features and make comparisons where relevant.
SAMPLE ANSWER
The given column graph depicts the quantities of emissions of greenhouse gases in million tons from three fossil fuels which are gas, oil and coal over a period of two decades. It can be clearly seen that the emissions from gas showed a downward trend, from coal showed an upward trend, whereas the emissions from oil fluctuated over the period.
In 1990, the greenhouse gas emissions from gas stood at 220 million tons. These emissions increased gradually and reached 320 million tons by 2010. The emissions from coal fell markedly from 310 million tons to 190 million tons over the given period of twenty years.
The carbon emissions from oil showed fluctuations till 2000 but after that there was a slow decline in carbon emissions till 2010. In 2010 the emissions became 210 million tons from 270 million tons.
Overall, it is interesting to see that from 1990 to 2010, the emissions from gas went from being the least to the most dominant.
