PLEASE HELP. Explain how the earth is a system? The more detail you can provide, the better!

The earth system is itself an integrated system, but it can be subdivided into four main components, sub-systems or spheres: the geosphere, atmosphere, hydrosphere and biosphere. ... The atmosphere receives energy from solar radiation which warms the earth's surface and is re-emitted and conducted to the atmosphere.

what statement best describes the difference between the sympathetic and parasympathetic nervous systems?
