Earth from space, sentence 7
Gravity at the International Space Station is about 90% as strong as on the ground; astronauts float because they are falling around the Earth together with their station; anything falling freely acts weightless, so water even stops pouring from holes in a dropped cup.
Who acts: Gravity, astronauts, anything, water · What happens: be, float, fall, act, stop, pour · To what, where: Earth, holes
This is a sentence of the lesson «Earth from space» of the myths 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 (Gravity, astronauts, anything, water), what happens, when and where, as Mova's frames read it from the tree.
