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 figures for the main types of fuels in the UK from 1981 to 2000. Overall, while the levels of Petroleum and Natural gas showed an upward trend, the reverse occurred in the amount of coal production, albeit it was higher than the latter, initially. It is also clear that Petroleum figures remained dominant throughout.
In 1981, the level of Petroleum was about 90 and that of Natural gas was just under 40. Over the following 5 years, the former showed growth, rising to 50, and the latter rose steadily until 2000, increasing by about 65. The amount of Petroleum production continued increasing to around 150 by the end of the period, declined by approximately 40 between 1986 and 1991.
The figure for the manufacturing of Coal, however, had begun with a downward trend, falling from 80 to under 40, between the years 1981 and 2000, although it experienced some variations.
