<u>The situations of market inefficiency are the following</u>

  • Consumers wait in line to buy a sale television because the first to come is the first served.
  • Consumers gain access to goods through a lottery or wining a contest.

In both situations there is an excess of demand (shortage of offer) beacuse the marketa are inefficient in terms of allocating the goods and services to all the consumers that are demanding them. Rationing mechanisms have to be implemented instead, operating under specific sets of rules such as: "first come, first served", or through the organization of a lottery.

<u>The other two situations do not reflect market inefficiency</u>

  • Consumers compete for wages in a free market economy.

Markets are freely functioning and it does not mentioned any disequilibrium situation that involves inefficiencies.

  • Consumers all agree and decide to produce certain products they need and want.

A group of consumers decides to become producers and perform the economic roles of this economic agent. This is the everyday life in markets.

Economic conditions that fueled support for foreign trade included
Alex_Xolod [135]

The institutionalization of trade has been around since the "value theory" of David Ricardo in 1817, which argues that some countries had more feasible conditions to produce a better output of certain products in comparison to others. As a result, they had to engage in trade with other countries that had products they lacked.

"Labor" and "resources" are the key factors that fuel trade. As some countries have a cheaper labor force, it makes their products have competitive prices in the market. On the other hand, certain countries have scarce resources that many other countries do not have such as gold and other minerals. Therefore they have to engage in trade with the countries that extract them from their soil.

How is Earth's hydrosphere and geosphere<br> (its solid material) interact as a river forms and ages
kotykmax [81]

Answer:

The hydrosphere, including all the waters on the Earth’s surface, is interconnected with the other ‘spheres’ in the Earth system, that is the geosphere (lithosphere and atmosphere), the biosphere, and the human-related anthroposphere. Water, the most widespread substance in the environment of our planet, is available, in liquid, solid, and vapor states, everywhere on Earth, albeit its abundance largely differs in space and time. Quantitative estimates of availability of water (and in particular, freshwater) in different Earth’s water stores (reservoirs) are given.
