This graph shows ten different lines, five solid, with respective twins dashed in nature. The first line is red and depicts 4 percent MC. The second is yellow and depicts 8 percent MC. The third is green and depicts 12 percent MC. The fourth is blue and depicts 18 percent MC while the fifth is black and depicts Saturated. The vertical axis of this graph ranges from 0 to 20 and represents Stress (megapascals) while the horizontal axis of this graph ranges from 0.0 to 4.0 and represents Strain (percent). The red lines run nearly parallel with each other rising with a curve until they plateau at the points of 14.5 on the vertical axis and 2.5 on the horizontal axis, where they run nearly straight off the graph. The yellow lines run nearly parallel with each other until they peak, the yellow dashed line at the points of 12.5 on the vertical axis and 2.05 on the horizontal axis where it plateaus and runs straight off the graph, while the yellow solid line peaks at the points of 13 on the vertical axis and 2.0 on the horizontal axis where it plateaus for a distance and stops at the points of 13 on the vertical axis and 3.5 on the horiztonal axis. The green lines run nearly parallel to each other, the solid line slightly shallower than the dashed as it rises in a gradual curve, peaking at the points of 10 on the vertical axis and 1.0 on the horiztonal axis where it plateaus and runs straight off the graph, while the solid green line gradually curves to a peak at the points of 10 on the vertical axis and 3.0 on the horizontal axis where it plateaus to an end at the points of 10 on the vertical axis and 3.7 on the horizontal axis. The blue lines run nearly parallel to each other, though the blue dashed line peaks first at the points of 6.5 on the vertical axis and 1.5 on the horizontal axis where it plateaus and runs straight off the graph while the solid blue line peaks at the points of 7 on the vertical axis and 2.7 on the horizontal axis and gradually slopes up where it leaves the graph and the points of 3 on the vertical axis and 4.0 on the horiztonal axis. Finally, the black line run nearly parallel, the solid black line slightly shallower than the black dashed line which peaks at 4 on the vertical axis and 1.5 on the horizontal axis where it plateaus and runs straight off the graph, while the solid black line begins at the points of zero, 0.0 and gradually curves just under the black dashed line until it meets it at the end of the graph at the points of 4 on the vertical axis and 4.0 on the horizontal axis.
