<span>The delineation of an aquatic ecosystem is the process of spatial identification, mapping and recording of the site; description documents the critical components and processes that underpin the ecosystem values of the site, and develops conceptual model(s) and identifies threats.
Delineating an aquatic ecosystem often starts with defining the main aquatic elements (core elements). The core elements will often be distinct landforms or features such as a waterhole, a swamp, a lake or a river. Ecotonal areas may be included as part of the core element or may be considered as a separate zone. For example, riparian vegetation is often considered to be an integral part of a river ecosystem, even if only inundated in big flood events.
The area around the core elements that has a critical influence on ecosystem function is referred to here as the Ecological Focal Zone. Beyond this, the landscape may be usefully differentiated as a Zone of Influence and a Catchment Zone.</span>

Answer:
The weight of an object at the surface of a planet is proportional to the planet's mass and inversely proportional to the square of the radius of the planet.
Pt.I
All living things needs some form of oxygen to live. In talking about a scuba diver, we are talking about a human, who uses their lungs to breathe, and did not develop the ability to breathe under water. Instead, when in a body of water, we tend to hold our breaths until an opportunity arises for us to exchange our carbon dioxide for oxygen.
Take into account the scuba gear. The scuba gear fits the user, and has a number of protection, including the suit counter-balancing any pressure applied by the deep, and the tank providing much needed oxygen to the user during delayed periods within the water.
Pt.II
<u>How does these two systems interact?</u>
Like as a human is breathing on land or even swimming, the human expels carbon dioxide, which forms into "air bubbles" that are then expelled into the water surrounding. The user then draws air from the pressurized air tank, and is able to breathe as such. This allows the user to stay underwater for much longer than just one breathe, and is able to travel farther inside the deep.
Inside this system, the Oxygen is first input into the oxygen tanks, which are then used by the diver. The diver would draw the oxygen from the tank (output), and he will then expel the used air into the surrounding water.
