The air we breathe, sentence 4

Air is mostly nitrogen, which hardly reacts, with about a fifth oxygen that we breathe, and tiny amounts of other gases such as carbon dioxide, which plants take in and which traps heat like a blanket.

Who acts: Air, nitrogen, we, plants · What happens: be, react, breathe, take in, trap, amount · To what, where: nitrogen, fifth oxygen, carbon dioxide, heat, other gases

This is a sentence of the lesson «The air we breathe» of the chemistry 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, nitrogen, we, plants), 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): no change. 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.
