Greenhouse gases trap heat and make the planet warmer. Human activities are responsible for
almost all of the increase in greenhouse gases in the atmosphere over the last 150 years. In this part,
you will draw two pie graphs. A pie graph is used to show how a certain quantity has been divided
into several parts, as well as to show the comparisons among these parts.
1. The data table below shows the total U.S. greenhouse gas emissions by economic sector in 2013,
in million metric tons of CO2.
On the pie graph provided, complete the graph to show the percent of greenhouse gas emissions
for each economic sector. Label each section of the pie graph with its economic sector. The
percent for "Agriculture" has been drawn and labeled for you.
