An oligopolistic market structure is distinguished by several characteristics. What are these characteristics

Answer/Explanation:

An oligopolistic market structure is a type of market structure that has few number of sellers controlling the market share. Coca-Cola Company operates in an oligopolistic market structure.

The main characteristics of an oligopolistic market structure are:

1. Limited Sellers or Firms operate in the market, just like Coca-Cola has few competitors in the industry where they operate.

2. The products sold in such market structure by the few big firms are usually differentiated or identical products. Just like the products offered by Coca-Cola and Pepsi.

3. This market structure has no free entry, in other words, other new firms cannot easily enter into the industry to compete for market share.

4. The price policy and output policy of one company can affect that of other competitors, hence, there is some form of interdependence.

5. Examples of industries that operate an oligopoly are the breweries industry, the beverage industry, the automobile industry etc.

it cools slower in the earth meaning the crystals have more time to form than lava on the surface

the relative atomic mass of an element is the mass of one atom of that element, relative to 1/12th of the mass of a  1212c atom. to convert to an absolute mass in kg, it is necessary to multiply by  1.661×10−271.661×10−27.

the relative atomic mass is roughly equal to the number of neutrons, plus the number of protons, in the nucleus of the atom.

for elements with more than one stable isotope (different types of nucleus with different numbers of neutrons but the same number of protons), the quoted mass is usually the average mass, weighted by the relative abundance of the different isotopes.
