高分范文
The line graph illustrates changes in the production and consumption of three energy sources (oil, natural gas, and coal) in a particular country between 1980 and 2020.
Overall, oil remained the dominant energy type despite fluctuations, while coal showed a steady decline in both production and usage. Natural gas witnessed significant growth, becoming the second most consumed resource by the end of the period.
In 1980, oil production stood at 100 million tonnes, nearly double its consumption (55 million). Over the next two decades, production peaked at 130 million in 2000 before dropping to 90 million by 2020. Conversely, consumption rose consistently, reaching 85 million tonnes in the final year.
Natural gas started as the least utilized energy, with 20 million tonnes produced and 15 million consumed. However, both figures surged after 1990, surpassing coal by 2010. By 2020, production hit 70 million tonnes, slightly higher than consumption (65 million).
Coal’s figures displayed a downward trend. Initially, 60 million tonnes were produced and 50 million consumed, but both values halved by 2020. This decline mirrored global shifts toward cleaner energy alternatives.
