What is cost push and demand pull?

Demand pull inflation is where the demand for an item has increased to a point where the price is increased, to reach an new equilibrium on a supply demand diagram.

Cost push inflation is where the price must be increased because the costs of making the product or service has increased, for example, if there was a new tax on raw material A, any products which use this raw material will have their price increased relative to the tax increase.
