The world supply curve is considered perfectly elastic.
Horizontal.
The difference between individual supply curve and the market supply curve is tat individual supply curve is like a firm. To be able to get the market supply curve you have to have the individual supply curve.
how is a market supply curve similar to and diffrent from an individual supply curve
If the world tilts to the left...
A change in supply means that the supply curve has shifted. With a stable demand, this will result in a change in the quantity supplied but also a change in price. A change in only quantity supplied without a change in supply would require a horizontal supply curve. Alternatively a change in quantity supplied and price may occur if there is a shift of the demand curve.
Horizontal.
The individual supply curve is the supply curve of a single firm producing output. Now say there are X individual producers there at any price P* the total available output is the output of all X producers ( a horizontal summation) this total of each individual supply curve gives the market supply curve. Put it simply all firms sell their output in the market.

Horizontal curve is a curve viewed in the x and y plane, while a vertical curve is viewed in the y plane only, or viewed from the side. Think of it like a cake. the top is the horizontal and the front is the vertical
The demand / supply graph is designed to have supply on the vertical axis (Y) and demand on the horizontal (X). Thus you will have a higher supply = lower demand, or lower supply = high demand.
No it does not. Only Perfectly Competitive firms have a horizontal Marginal Cost curve, which is also there demand curve.
Supply schedule and supply curve and related in the sense that there exists an important relationship between supply and demand. The greater the supply curve, the greater the supply schedule.
?Perfect competition in a resource market means that there aremany small buyers of the resource, and that none can influencethe market. The supply curve is identical to the marginalresource cost curve (MRC), and is horizontal. The wage is givendirectly by the intersection of the supply line and MRP curve(which is the demand for labor).Graph G-MIC9.1
"implies an elasticity equal to infinity" you have a horizontal straight line, you are right that e will be infinite . It will be perfectly elastic at all the points on the line. Because no change in quantity will be will change the price.
