Seasons and tides, sentence 3
The Moon's pull raises the oceans into a bulge on the side facing it and another on the far side, and as the Earth spins each beach passes through both bulges, so the sea comes in and goes out twice a day.
Who acts: pull, side, Earth, beach, sea, Moon · What happens: raise, face, spin, pass, come in, go out · To what, where: oceans, bulge, pull, bulges
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 (pull, side, Earth, beach), what happens, when and where, as Mova's frames read it from the tree.
