Seasons and tides, sentence 11

The Moon's gravity pulls the oceans into a bulge on the near side and another on the far side, and each place passes through both as the Earth spins, giving two high tides a day.

Who acts: gravity, place, Earth · What happens: pull, pass, spin, give · To what, where: oceans, bulge, both, two high tides

This is a sentence of the lesson «Seasons and tides» 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 (gravity, place, Earth), 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): no change. 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.
