Explanation of Solution
A system consists of different parts that may interact directly or indirectly. Our Earth itself can be best expressed as the Earth system where the various spheres like the hydrosphere, atmosphere, biosphere and geosphere along with forces of Earth interact each other for its stability and existence. The Earth system includes many subsystems out of which the hydrologic cycle, carbon cycle and rock cycle are good examples.
