Evaporation and condensation, sentence 6

The white cloud just above a boiling kettle is not the gas itself: it is tiny drops of water that formed when the invisible vapour cooled in the air.

Who acts: white cloud, cloud, tiny drops, invisible vapour · What happens: not be, be, form, cool · To what, where: gas, tiny drops, air

This is a sentence of the lesson «Evaporation and condensation» of the world 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 (white cloud, cloud, tiny drops, invisible vapour), what happens, when and where, as Mova's frames read it from the tree.
