Wind and weather, sentence 6
On a sunny day the land warms faster than the sea, so warm air rises over the land and cooler sea air blows in; at night the land also cools faster than the sea, so the breeze often turns round and blows out to sea.
Who acts: land, warm air, cooler sea air, breeze · What happens: warm, rise, blow in, cool, turn round, blow out · To what, where: land, sea
This is a sentence of the lesson «Wind and weather» 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 (land, warm air, cooler sea air, breeze), what happens, when and where, as Mova's frames read it from the tree.
