Water safety and the ocean, sentence 6

Divers equalise their ears (even out the push inside them, for example by pinching the nose and blowing gently) as they go down, and come up slowly, because shooting up fast can badly hurt them.

Who acts: Divers, ears, shooting · What happens: equalise, pinch, blow, go down, come up, shoot up · To what, where: ears, nose

This is a sentence of the lesson «Water safety and the ocean» 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 (Divers, ears, shooting), 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): R1-cc-next ×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.
