- - - - Ecosystems (watersheds support their growth by making plenty of water available) (connection with food webs because food webs are what essentially contain all of the interactions between the biotic factors of an ecosystem)
      - Animals, plants, humans (watersheds support these by giving them water to drink, bath, etc.)
      - Short term demographic transition (can happen when watersheds, which are people's source of water, dry) (they can also happen when the farms can't produce anything anymore due to the soil becoming infertile) (a third way they can happen is when volcanoes erupt, one example of this is Pompeii)
    - - ∆ t - temperature difference (oceans have temperature differences in different parts of them)
        
        Plate tectonics (cause ∆ t in ocean when they move apart and allow magma to rise)
        
        Volcanoes (plate tectonics create volcanoes when one ocean plate goes bellow a continental plate)
      - High air density (oceans are low to the ground, so the air around them has high density)
        
        Air density difference
        
        ∆ t on air (∆ density means more or less molecules to absorb heat)
        
        Convection (hot air rises, cold air sinks from the sides)
        
        Winds (winds are created by convection)
        
        Water on oceans going eastward (winds push hot water from America to Asia)

        Coriolis effect (this effect is the change of wind position and velocity due to Earth's rotation)

  - - - Season variation (the tilt allows for variation in seasons since it is constant while Earth's location in relation to the Sun is not)
      - Opposite seasons in southern and northern hemispheres (because of Earth's tilt)
  - - - Stratosphere (layer of atmosphere)
        
        This is where the ozone layer is, it goes up to 50 km high
      - Exosphere (layer of the atmosphere)
        
        The top layer of the atmosphere, it goes up to 10000 km in altitude
    - - Cycles of elements in the planet (connection with last branch because by intaking CO2 and releasing O2, plants participate in the carbon and oxygen cycles)
        
        Carbon cycle (connection with volcanoes because volcanoes emit carbon when they erupt) (connection with season variation because when winter comes, photosynthetic rates are small compared to spring, and photosynthesis is why plants participate in the carbon cycle)
        
        Oxygen cycle (connection with season variation for the same reason as connection between carbon cycle and season variation)
    - - The densest, the lowest in altitude, where most weather happens
    - - The middle layer, this is where meteors burn
    - - Extremely high temperatures occur here, up to 2000ºC. The aurora occurs here, satellites are also in this layer
- - - - Low air density (in high places, there is not a lot of air)
    - - Condensation (water in air cools and condenses when the air rises)
        
        Precipitation (precipitation is the result of water in air condensing)
        
        Soil (rain helps to keep soil humid)
        
        Plants (live in soils)
        
        Vegetation (plants make up the vegetation)
        
        Primary producers (plants are primary producers)
        
        Primary consumers (eat primary producers)
