Particulate-Matter
, or
Energy
.
Required Relationships:
object
: the thing emitted; must be fluid, particulate-matter, or energy
origin
: the location of the
object
before it's emitted. Must be either the location of the
agent
or the location of the
instrument
.
Other Common Relationships:
agent
: the entity that causes the
object
to be emitted
instrument
: the thing used to emit the
object
by-means-of
: the event that is instrumental in the emission
destination
: the final location of the
object
after it's emitted
path
: the Place which the
object
moves along after it's emitted. Typically, this is an object or surface along which the
object
moves
toward
: the location toward which the
object
moves. Unlike the
destination
, the
object
need not reach this Place, but it may.
away-from
: the location that the
object
moves away from. Unlike the
origin
, the
object
need not start at this Place, but it may.
Examples:
