Meteor., II, 7–8. “Aristotle sums up his views of the causes of winds, earthquakes, lightning, and thunder towards the end of Meteor., II, 9, where he says that they all are essentially the same, viz. a dry exhalation which produces earthquakes when operating within the earth, winds when operating about the surface of the earth, and lightning and thunder when operating among the clouds” (Lones, Arist. Researches, 1912, p. 45).
