Floating in the real world: ice, submarines and balloons, sentence 2

Air pushes up just like water, only more gently, so a helium balloon or a hot-air balloon floats in the air like wood floats in a pond.

Who acts: Air, helium balloon, wood · What happens: push up, float · To what, where: air, pond

This is a sentence of the lesson «Floating in the real world: ice, submarines and balloons» of the physics 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, helium balloon, wood), 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. 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.
