▶ Your Answer : The four pie graphs provide the information about figures for making electricity by distinct sources, namely coal, oil, natural gas, hydro power, and nuclear power, compared two countries(Australia and France) in two separate years, 1980 and 2000. To begin with, it is clear that Australian coal was used the most to product electricity in both two years, while in France they had each similar proportions in sources in 1980, but the number of natural gas was the most utilized resource in 2000. In detail, Australian total production of electricity had increased from 1000 to 170 units, whereas that of France had dramatically doubled from 90 to 180 units. Furthermore, in Australia the use of coal to make electricity had significantly risen more than twofold from 50 to 130 units, but the other resources showed declines excluding few grow of number of hydro power from 15 to 126 units, despite there was no figure of hydro power in Australia. However, the figures of coal and oil had remained steadily nearly no change in two figures, even no change in coal, though there was radically a drop in number of natural gas from 25 to 2 unites. In conclusion, there were different patterns in production of electricity in terms of use of fuel sources between Australia and France, but in two countries they had a equal upward trends in total production. |
