I would translate this sentence as "because it was immobile", or "for it was immobile".

If the translation confuses you: 止まっていた doesn't mean that it was being stopped at that moment, but rather it was immobile at that moment. For example like a car that has stopped in front of a traffic light.

Thanks so much for your help !

However, why is "tame" used in this sentence ( Does it have any difference from other structure ? )
Sorry for all questions ,as I said , I am just a newbee !
