Seasons and tides, sentence 15

The Moon pulls lakes too, but a lake is too small to show a tide you can see; even the solid ground rises and falls a few centimetres each day.

Who acts: Moon, lake, you, solid ground · What happens: pull, be, show, see, rise, fall · To what, where: lakes, tide, few centimetres

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 (Moon, lake, you, solid ground), 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 ×5, R7-rel-agree ×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.
