# Seasons and tides, sentence 3

<!-- .ven lang=en -->
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.

<!-- .vintro -->
**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

<!-- .vabout -->
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.

One row per clause the reader finds. «not said here»: a role filled from the clause above. «roles by»: a VerbNet class and frame when one fits the verb, else the reader's rules on 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): R1-cc-next ×2, R6-punct-agree ×1. **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.
