+### EXPLAIN QUERY TREE
+
+Settings:
+
+-   `run_passes` — Run all query tree passes before dumping the query tree. Defaul: `1`.
+-   `dump_passes` — Dump information about used passes before dumping the query tree. Default: `0`.
+-   `passes` — Specifies how many passes to run. If set to `-1`, runs all the passes. Default: `-1`.
+
+Example:
+```sql
+EXPLAIN QUERY TREE SELECT id, value FROM test_table;
+```
+
+```
+QUERY id: 0
+  PROJECTION COLUMNS
+    id UInt64
+    value String
+  PROJECTION
+    LIST id: 1, nodes: 2
+      COLUMN id: 2, column_name: id, result_type: UInt64, source_id: 3
+      COLUMN id: 4, column_name: value, result_type: String, source_id: 3
+  JOIN TREE
+    TABLE id: 3, table_name: default.test_table
+```

 ### EXPLAIN PLAN
 
 Dump query plan steps.
