The future of life: de-extinction, climate, coral and frozen zoos, sentence 9

Corals turn white, which is called bleaching, when the water is too hot and they push out the tiny algae living in them, which get a home in the coral and make food from sunlight for it; without the algae they starve, though they can recover if the heat passes.

Who acts: Corals, water, tiny algae, heat · What happens: turn, call, bleach, be, push out, live · To what, where: tiny algae, home, coral, food, sunlight · Speech: someone speaks here

This is a sentence of the lesson «The future of life: de-extinction, climate, coral and frozen zoos» 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 (Corals, water, tiny algae, heat), what happens, when and where, as Mova's frames read it from the tree.
