# Wind and weather, sentence 6

<!-- .ven lang=en -->
On a sunny day the land warms faster than the sea, so warm air rises over the land and cooler sea air blows in; at night the land also cools faster than the sea, so the breeze often turns round and blows out to sea.

<!-- .vintro -->
**Who acts:** land, warm air, cooler sea air, breeze · **What happens:** warm, rise, blow in, cool, turn round, blow out · **To what, where:** land, sea

<!-- .vabout -->
This is a sentence of the lesson «Wind and weather» 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 (land, warm air, cooler sea air, breeze), 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 ×1, 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.
