Clever reasoning about water and matter, sentence 3

A cold glass gets wet on the outside because water vapour in the warm air touches the cold glass, cools and condenses: the water comes from the air, not through the glass.

Who acts: cold glass, water vapour, water · What happens: get, touch, cool, condense, come · To what, where: outside, cold glass, air

This is a sentence of the lesson «Clever reasoning about water and matter» 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 (cold glass, water vapour, water), what happens, when and where, as Mova's frames read it from the tree.

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.
