1 I, 1| the causes of winds and earthquakes and all the consequences 2 II, 7| We must go on to discuss earthquakes next, for their cause is 3 II, 7| circumstances attendant on earthquakes: for not every country or 4 II, 7| it grows wet or dry, and earthquakes are due to the fall of these 5 II, 7| as they break away. Hence earthquakes take place in times of drought 6 II, 7| many places. Again, why do earthquakes frequently occur in places 7 II, 7| Besides, on this view, earthquakes ought always to be getting 8 II, 8| rise to an evaporation: earthquakes are a necessary consequence 9 II, 8| nor earth is the cause of earthquakes but wind-that is, the inrush 10 II, 8| inwards or all outwards, most earthquakes and the greatest are accompanied 11 II, 8| attended by wind. Only these earthquakes are less severe because 12 II, 8| is divided.~Again, most earthquakes and the severest occur at 13 II, 8| earthquake results.~The severest earthquakes take place where the sea 14 II, 8| makes them so liable to earthquakes. A great and therefore violent 15 II, 8| the surface are exposed to earthquakes because they have room for 16 II, 8| wind.~For the same reason earthquakes usually take place in spring 17 II, 8| in our bodies. Thus some earthquakes are a sort of tremor, others 18 II, 8| calm and sharp frost before earthquakes at sunrise. The sun is necessarily 19 II, 8| before the more violent earthquakes, for when the wind is not 20 II, 8| which sometimes precedes earthquakes can be explained in the 21 II, 8| sometimes they portend earthquakes but sometimes they have 22 II, 8| settling down the inundation.~Earthquakes are local and often affect 23 II, 8| excessive rain locally. Now earthquakes do come about in this way 24 II, 8| way but winds do not. For earthquakes, rains, and droughts have 25 II, 8| sea are less exposed to earthquakes than those near land. First, 26 II, 8| too.~We have now explained earthquakes, their nature and cause, 27 II, 9| wind, in another it causes earthquakes; in the clouds, when they
