Sympathetic vibration is the name given to the phenomenon where the energy may be transferred from one vibrating system, to another similar one close by.

The simplest case would be for you to pluck just one of the tynes of a tuning fork. Both tynes will vibrate in synchrony. The strings of a piano are often multiple ones, and this synchronous vibration add pleasantly the the timbre of the sound.

A more impressive demonstration is made by suspending a pair of small masses from a beam, a few inches apart, using light thread. If you start one of the masses to pendulum, you'll find that the other starts to pendulum also, with a little movement at first, but becoming greater and greater. Eventually, the first pendulum will slow and stop. Then gradually increase its swing, as it recovers the momentum from the other pendulum.

Resonance is the other name for the natural frequency.

What is the natural emitted frequency (Fe) of the Earth?

There is no such (single) frequency. The Earth is not a resonator, but it does vibrate mechanically (seismic and tidal) and emit electromagnetic radiation at many different frequencies.
