The ocean: open sea, sunlit zone and the deep dark, sentence 5

The sunlit zone is the top 200 metres of the ocean, where there is enough light for plant-like plankton to grow, and ocean plankton make about half the oxygen in our air.

Who acts: sunlit zone, enough light, ocean plankton · What happens: be, grow, make · To what, where: top 200 metres, oxygen, air

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 (sunlit zone, enough light, ocean plankton), what happens, when and where, as Mova's frames read it from the tree.

The tree: Mova annot: Rust (en) → Haiku 5.5 (medium, Batches API) patches; gates UD 2.18; agreed by treeagree rules (Stanza, Trankit, spaCy trf): R5-strong ×2, R6-punct-agree ×1, R8-pos-agree ×1. The frames are read from the tree by Mova's frames reader (prag) when this page is built, the lesson read in order, so a pronoun may be resolved from an earlier sentence.
