Plate tectonics, sentence 11

Where plates slide past each other sideways, crust is neither made nor destroyed, but strong earthquakes happen, as along the San Andreas Fault in California.

Who acts: plates, strong earthquakes · What happens: slide, make, destroy, happen · To what, where: other sideways, crust, San Fault

This is a sentence of the lesson «Plate tectonics» of the geography 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 (plates, strong earthquakes), 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): 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.
