The ocean: open sea, sunlit zone and the deep dark, sentence 15
The Challenger Deep in the Mariana Trench is about 11 km deep, with pressure over 1,000 times that at the surface, and Everest put inside it would have its peak about 2 km under water; yet small fish, shrimp-like animals and microbes still live down there.
Who acts: Challenger Deep, deep, small fish · What happens: be, put, have, live down · To what, where: Everest, peak
This is a sentence of the lesson «The ocean: open sea, sunlit zone and the deep dark» 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 (Challenger Deep, deep, small fish), what happens, when and where, as Mova's frames read it from the tree.
