The Earth comprises many spheres of subsystems, which associate with each other to develop a composite and spontaneously changing system of the Earth. The processes taking place in the system of the Earth occurs on spatial scales changing from fractions of millimeters to thousands of kilometers, and on time scales, which varies from milliseconds to billions of years.
The examples of instantaneous scales are a rotation of the Earth, breathing, an earthquake.
The examples of long-term scales are making coal and plate tectonics.
The system of the Earth is featured by various overlapping cycles in which matter is recycled again and again. The cycles involve interactions between multiple spheres and systems. The examples of cycles are rock cycle, day and night, and seasons.
Volcanoes discharge a huge concentration of particulate matter into the atmosphere. These particles function as nuclei for the development of droplets of water (hydrosphere). The rainfall, that is, hydrosphere usually upsurges after an eruption, initiating growth of the plant (biosphere). Thus, volcanoes and volcanic activities are a good illustration of system interactions.

The palisade mesophyll has long cylinder shaped cells, lots of chloroplasts, cells closely packed together and large size of cells.
Answer:
The following are accurate about earthquakes which occur during the formation of a chain of Islands and seamounts by hotspots:
- Earthquakes occur along fault lines within volcanoes formed by the hotspot.
- Earthquakes occur along fault lines during plate movements.
- Earthquakes occur when Earth’s crust bends under the weight of islands formed by the hotspot.
Explanation:
Answer:
Convection currents transfer heat from one place to another by mass motion of a fluid such as water, air or molten rock.
