Oil and water, and things that won't mix, sentence 9

A thin film of oil on a puddle shows rainbow colours, as soap bubbles do, because light reflects off its top and bottom; the colours depend on how thick the film is, so they swirl as it spreads and drifts.

Who acts: thin film, light, colours, film · What happens: show, reflect off, depend, be, swirl, spread · To what, where: rainbow colours, top, oil, puddle

This is a sentence of the lesson «Oil and water, and things that won't mix» 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 (thin film, light, colours, film), 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): R7-rel-agree ×2. 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.
