Question

This pie chart gives information on US sources of greenhouse gas emissions by economic sector in 2013. Based on the data, arrange the activities in decreasing order of their contribution to climate change.
I need help putting these in order!

Answer 1

The correct arrangement in decreasing order is:

1. Electricity 31%

2. Transportation 27%

3. Industry 21%

4. Commercial and residential 12%

5. Agriculture 9%

From this pie chart we can see that the biggest amounts of Greenhouse emissions come from the power plants that produce electricity, with around 31% of the total emissions. The transportation by using the vehicles comes on second place with 27%, while the industry is the third biggest emitter of Greenhouse gases with 21%. The Commercial and residential use is much lower than the first three, accounting for around 12%, and the agriculture being the one with the least impact with only 9% of the emissions.
