We have now given an account of waters and the sea, why they persist, how they change, what their nature is, and have explained most of their natural operations and affections.

Let us proceed to the theory of winds. Its basis is a distinction we have already made. We recognize two kinds of evaporation, one moist, the other dry. The former is called vapour: for the other there is no general name but we must call it a sort of smoke, applying to the whole of it a word that is proper to one of its Buty Adidas forms. The moist cannot exist without the dry nor the dry without the moist: whenever we Menn Adidas Shorts speak of either we mean that it predominates. Now when the sun in its circular course approaches, it draws up by its heat the moist evaporation: when it recedes the cold makes the vapour that had been raised condense back into Men Denim Jackets water which falls and is distributed Women Phone through the earth. (This explains why there is more rain in winter and more by night than by day: though the fact is not recognized because rain by night is more apt to escape observation than by day.) But there is a great quantity of fire and heat in the earth, and Women Denim Jackets the sun not only draws up the moisture that lies on the surface of it, but warms and dries the earth itself. Vans Plimsolls Shoes Men Consequently, since there are two kinds of evaporation, as we Converse Low Tops have said, one like vapour, the other like smoke, both of them are necessarily generated. That in which moisture predominates is the source of rain, as we explained before, while the dry evaporation is Men Slim-Fit Jeans the source and substance of all winds. That things must necessarily take this course is clear from the resulting phenomena themselves, for the evaporation that is to produce them must Męskie Vans Old Skool necessarily differ; and the sun and the warmth in the earth not only can but must produce these evaporations.
Since Adidas NEO 10K the two evaporations are specifically distinct, wind and rain obviously differ and their substance is not Męskie Vans LXVI Variable the same, as those say who maintain that one and the same air when in motion is wind, Vans Męskie but when it condenses again is water. Air, as we have explained in an earlier book, is made up of these as constituents. Vapour is moist and cold (for its fluidity is due to its moistness, and because it derives from water it is naturally cold, like water that has not been warmed): whereas the smoky evaporation is hot and dry. Hence each contributes a part, and air is moist and hot. It is absurd that this air that surrounds us should become wind when in motion, whatever be the source of its motion on the contrary the case of winds is like that of rivers. We do not call water that flows anyhow a river, even if there is a great quantity of it, but only if the flow comes from a spring. So too with the winds; a great quantity of air might be moved by the fall of some large object without flowing from any source or spring.
The facts bear out our theory. It is because the evaporation takes place uninterruptedly but differs in degree and quantity that clouds and winds appear in their natlinks:
