Detailed explanation-1: -Supply curve shift: Changes in production cost and related factors can cause an entire supply curve to shift right or left.

Detailed explanation-2: -Change in supply refers to a shift, either to the left or right, in the entire price-quantity relationship that defines a supply curve. Essentially, a change in supply is an increase or decrease in the quantity supplied that is paired with a higher or lower supply price.
