Event Streams Understanding

I see that my Elapsed time for my run is greater than the length of each activity streams, which I was not expecting.

The activity streams are about the same length as the Moving time of the run, though there are elements in the ‘moving’ stream that have ‘False’ values (not moving).

 

I think my understanding of what event streams are and how they are recorded are a bit off. Would someone be able to explain this?

 

Thank you.

The streams can only contain recorded data points. When someone pauses the recording there have to be gaps in the streams. Additionally Strava applies auto pauses retroactively.
