1 I, 1 | already discussed the first causes of nature, and all natural 2 I, 1 | These throw light on the causes of winds and earthquakes 3 I, 2 | like them as the material causes of the events in this world ( 4 I, 3 | carries the air with it and causes its circular motion, fire 5 I, 4 | out the hot element and causes it to be thrown downwards. 6 I, 5 | must be taken to be the causes of "shooting-stars" and 7 I, 6 | argument, to show that the causes brought forward to explain 8 I, 9 | consider the principles and causes of all these phenomena too 9 I, 9 | approaches or recedes, obviously causes dissipation and condensation 10 I, 11| and are due to the same causes, differing from them only 11 I, 12| the surrounding heat and causes the cloud to go over into 12 I, 12| account of the nature and causes of rain, dew, snow, hoar-frost, 13 I, 13| does above it. If the cold causes the vaporous air to condense 14 I, 14| case of the earth. Here the causes are cold and heat, which 15 I, 14| this process of silting up causes a continuous current through 16 II, 2 | moment. Again, when the sun causes the moisture to rise, this 17 II, 2 | surging to and fro, and so it causes the rivers to flow on this 18 II, 3 | drying up except from local causes (this must happen to sea 19 II, 4 | concentrated in them. These are the causes that make wind cease on 20 II, 5 | forerunners".~Calm is due to two causes. Either cold quenches the 21 II, 5 | intermediate periods, too, the causes are generally either that 22 II, 6 | the earth it necessarily causes evaporation to rise in greater 23 II, 7 | forces its way in and so causes an earthquake. Or again, 24 II, 7 | as it changes its place causes the earthquake.~Anaximenes 25 II, 8 | evaporation. Again, excessive rain causes more of the evaporation 26 II, 8 | exhalation concentrates and causes cold in any place in which 27 II, 8 | dying away, the wind which causes the earthquake before the 28 II, 8 | below: just as winds are the causes of waves and not waves of 29 II, 8 | earth and water are material causes (being patients, not agents): 30 II, 9 | its impact on dense clouds causes thunder: the variety of 31 II, 9 | it is wind, in another it causes earthquakes; in the clouds, 32 II, 9 | water, it is ejected and causes thunder and lightning and 33 III, 4 | concomitants, and to assign their causes.~Sight is reflected from 34 III, 6 | rods too, are due to the causes we have described. A mock 35 III, 6 | though not yet quite water, causes the sun’s true colour to 36 III, 6 | upper region, so here it causes two varieties of bodies. 37 IV, 1 | heat and cold will be the causes of putrefaction, which will 38 IV, 1 | subject’s own heat departs and causes the natural moisture to 39 IV, 1 | in the object, and so it causes no change. For the same 40 IV, 3 | rawness and assigned their causes.~Boiling is, in general, 41 IV, 3 | cold.) The motion which causes imperfect boiling is different 42 IV, 3 | different from that which causes boiling, for the heat which 43 IV, 3 | much for the definition and causes of boiling and imperfect 44 IV, 5 | discussed.~Now there are two causes besides matter, the agent 45 IV, 5 | moistening, must have these two causes.~But since concretion is 46 IV, 7 | reason is that opposite causes have opposite effects: consequently, 47 IV, 7 | solidification is due to two causes, the cold and the dry, solution 48 IV, 7 | solidification and melting, their causes, and the kinds of subjects 49 IV, 10| the cold of the river and causes the moisture to evaporate
