▶ Your Answer :The chart indicates how many products are carried by four particular transportations in United Kingdom from 1974 to 2002. In the period of survey, the products transported by road, water and pipeline increased all, while the products carried by rail almost constant maintained at approximately 40 million tonnes.
In 1974 and 2002, the largest quatity of goods transported was by road with around 70 and 100 million tonnes respectively. Otherwise, the quantity of products carried by pipeline was the lowest one which was about 5 and 22 million tonnes each in 1974 and 2002. The amount of products transported by water remain at 40 million tonnes from 1974 to 1978, and finally in 2002 it rose at around 65 million tonnes, after which it remained at roughly 55 million tonnes for 20 years between 1978 and 1998.
The amount of products carried by rail showed same quantities in 1974 and 2002. During that time, there are several increases and decreases. It is interesting to note that in 1994 most products except pipeline declined, whereas, in pipeline's case, it peaked at highest score about 25 million tonnes at that time.
Consequently, the road sustained the most usable transportation to carry products, also the water and the pipeline have climed gradually. Meanwhile, the rail remained same quatites continuously.
