Grammar Notes[]
Являться is a fancy form of "to be" used in more formal documents like research papers, scientific journals, and political papers. Even then, it isn't necessary, but in some contexts it makes more sense to use it. It is considered a little too formal in regular speech except when absolutely necessary.
