Trees make the wind blow

When I was a kid I thought that the wind was caused by the trees fanning their leaves...

When I first went to kindergarden we started learning about weather and i was crushed to learn that trees didn't make wind, I always thought this because whenever it was windy the trees were moving.

I grew up in the mountains of Pennsylvania and I used to believe that the trees would start waving and make it windy. . . the more they waved, the windier it got.

Up until very recently my girlfriend believed that "the trees make the wind". It came to light because I live on a lake and we were talking about how its frequently windy there; she was convinced it was because it was surrounded mostly by trees.

I used to believe that trees made the wind, but its the wind that blew the trees!

I use to believe that the trees caused the wind to blow by swaying back and forth, like a chinese fan.

I thought the wind was caused by the trees. When it was windy, the trees where moving back and forth.. like our ocillating fan, plus the made the noise..like our fan. Made sense to me at the time, lol.

When I was a child I used to think that the reason of wind were trees which were moving. Everybody knows that trees are alive! : ) Why can't they move..?

I used to think that the trees made the wind. Whenever we were outside on a really windy day i would get so angry and frustrated and scream at the trees to stop it!!!!

I used to believe that the wind was made by trees swaying instead of the other way around.

like many people, i used to believe that trees swaying was the cause of wind. so, naturally, i was very confused when i saw the prince of egypt in the desert seen where it is very windy. How could there be wind when there were no trees around? i took the question to my dad, who looked confused for a moment, laughed, then explained.

I once thought that trees swaying in the wind was causing the wind, acting as fans.

I used to believe trees made wind. I'd see them blowing around and think they were doing it by themselves to cool down the world.

When the wind blows, tree branches wave: that was pretty obvious. It was equally obvious that trees, therefore, cause the wind. That was considerably before TV and 24 hour weather reporting took the mystery out of weather phenoms.

I used to believe that it was the trees that made the wind blow. I thought the wind would take me away if i was outside when it was blowing. One day I became so tired with all the wind that I told my father that he had to cut all the trees down.

In agreement with an earlier post, I also thought that trees created the wind, and I used to beleive that it would never be windy where there were no trees around. I was soon to find out that I was wrong though!
