Mountains: life as you climb higher, sentence 1

Every 1000 metres up the air gets about 6 to 7 degrees colder, and it gets thinner, so each breath brings less oxygen and you puff and pant on the path.

Who acts: air, breath, you · What happens: get about, get, bring, puff, pant · To what, where: 1000 metres, less oxygen, path

This is a sentence of the lesson «Mountains: life as you climb higher» of the biology course of Mova's primary school. The page gives its syntax tree — a dependency tree in the style of Universal Dependencies — and its pragmatics clause by clause: who acts (air, breath, you), what happens, when and where, as Mova's frames read it from the tree.
