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.
<span>Alleles are usually represented by three different methods using two alphabets; when the two alphabets are small letters, it means that both alleles are recessive; when the two alphabets are capital letters, it means that both alleles are dominant and when one of the letter is capitalized and the other a lower case, it means that one of the allele is dominant while the other is recessive. Genotype CC means that the two alleles for curly hair are dominant.</span><span />
The right option is; B) the total variety of organisms on Earth
The total variety of organisms on Earth explains biodiversity
Biodiversity is the variety and variability of all species (different plants, animals and microorganisms) from all sources (marine, terrestrial and other aquatic ecosystem) on earth or within a particular region. Biodiversity involves genetic diversity, species diversity and ecosystem diversity which all functions together to form the complexity of life on earth.

When
the morning announcements call for you to rise to recite the pledge of
allegiance, the signal to stand up on your feet is sent by the somatic nervous system. The somatic nervous system is <span>part of the peripheral nervous system. Its functions are : </span><span>voluntary movement of the muscles and organs and reflex movements. So, the signal to stand up on our feet in the morning is movement of the organs sent by this system. </span>
