The graph illustrates the percentage of exploiting oil in
Iceland, Sweden, Italy, Turkey as a proportion of total
energy consumption in each country over the course of 40 years starting from 1966. As can be seen from the given line graph, it is clearly that the proportion of Iceland and Sweden oil use experienced a downward trend. Meanwhile, the percentage of oil consumption in Italy remained relatively stable, but the usage of oil in Turkey soared significantly. Looking at the graph more closely, it is immediately obvious that the proportion of oil consumption in Italy stood at 90% in 1966 and remained steady approximately 85% forty years later, despite the fluctuation in the middle of the course. The percentage of using oil in Turkey was the lowest among four countries stood at 60% in 1966, it raised significantly in 10 years later before soared to 90% in the end of the course being the most usage of oil between four different countries. In contrast with Turkey, the usage of oil in Iceland registered 70% in 1966, it plunged by roughly 40% 20 years later, before hit the lowest point in the end of the course with approximately 35%. A similar trend was witnessed in the proportion of oil use in Sweden, it decreased significantly from 70% to 30%, before dropping to about 20% in 2006, the lowest consumption among four countries.
