The pie chart indicates the main caus of worldwide land degradation, while the table demonstrates the detailed percentages of tho reasons in three regions in the 1900s.
As is clearly shown in the pie chart, there were four main reasons of land degradation around the world. The dominant cau was over-gazing, which led to 35% of degradation of the global land, followed by deforestation and over-cultivation, causing 30% and 28% of land degradation respectively. Other reasons, however, only resulted in 7% of the land being degraded.
when it comes to the caus in the listed three regions, it is clear from the table that Europe suffered most from land degradation, with totally 23% of its land being degraded, among which deforestation took up the leading role(9.8%), and over-cultivation as well as overgrazing were just clo behind, with 7.7% and 5.5% .Oceania, had its 13% of land degr
aded, showing quite a high damage from overgrazing at 11.3% but no damage from over-cultivation. However, North America, reflected a better situation in its land degradation (only 5%), with the largest damage from over-cultivation at 3.3%.
To sum up, the caus of world land degradation showed different resultS when individual area was measured

A glance at the graph provided reveals the relative qualities of goods transported in the UK by four different modes from 1974 to2002. There were considerable fluctuations in output in all four modes of transport, with lows in 1974 and highs in 2002.
The largest quality of goods transported during the period was by road, growing in stages from 70 million tons in 1974 to its peak at about 98 million tons in 2002. However, the lowest quantity of goods transported over the years was by pipeline, although it ro constantly from 4 million tons to around 21 million tons.
In comparison, the amounts transported by water and rail showed quite different trends. Starting from a little below 40 million tons in 1974, that by water incread to about 60 million tons in 1990, followed by a slight decline to 50 million tons before climbing sharply to its peak at 65 million tons in 2002. However, that by rail, having a similar start, experienced a downward fluctuation to its bottom at approximately 30 million tons in 1995, before it picked up to 40 million tons again in 2002.
