The given line graphs illustrate Australia’s international trade with countries that include the imports from and exports to China, the US, and Japan.
Australia’s trade with China has been quite erratic; in 2002 imports fell from nearly 4. 5 billion to about 2. 5 billion in 2003, then it went back up to nearly 4. 5 billion in 2005. Exports started in 2002 with an increase from nearly 2. 5 billion to approximately 4. 5 billion in 2003, but then there was a sudden drop to about 2 billion in 2004, and finally, there was a rise up to nearly 2. 5 billion in 2005.
Unlike trade with China, Australia’s trade with the US has been consistent. Imports started with a steady increase in 2002 with approximately 1. 5 billion to nearly 2. 4 billion in 2004, then there a slight decrease back to nearly 2. 1 billion in 2005. Exports had a similar trend starting with an increase in 2002 from nearly 2. 5 billion up to 3. 1 billion in 2004, only to decrease to about 2. 75 billion in 2005.
