Not the wind, not the cliff, mind is moving.

the answer is blowing in the wind

it is at its highest point during a storm.it creasts then starts going back down.

winds and air tunnels cause the waves.... and more accurately .. its the high and low pressure that coz the winds to move....:)

You would feel some wind, but only due to the random components of the wind turbulence and sheer. However, at a 50 mph average windspeed, these are significant!\n\nThe 50 mph hypothetical wind is just an average windspeed. Air is a fluid, subject to turbulence when air comes in contact with either slower moving air layers or solid objects such as the earth.\n\nNear the surface of the earth, there is considerable turbulence because the surface of the earth slows down the wind. As you get closer to the surface, the wind speed tends to decrease.\n\nWith a 50 mph average wind speed, the random wind variations and turbulence would be quite significant - there easily could be variations of 20 - 30 mph over the course of a second or two. You certainly would feel all of those random variations and turbulence as wind.

The simple answer - the wind causes waves (once in a while, of \ncourse, there is an earthquake under the ocean that causes a "tidal wave", \nor tsunami, as the Japanese call them), but all those waves that crash \nendlessly on the beaches of the world, day in and day out, year after year, \nare caused by winds. When you're in boat in the ocean far from land, the \nwaves come from every direction, because they can travel for many, many \nmiles, and the wind blows in different directions in different areas and \noften changes from day to day. When the waves get to shallow water near the \nshore, there is friction between the waves and the sea bottom. The effect \nof that friction is to turn the waves so that come straighter in toward the \nshore. If you're standing on a lookout point above the shore, you can often \nsee this effect. \nNow imagine what's happening on a day when the waves are coming in \ntoward you even though the wind is blowing out toward the sea from the \nshore. The waves breaking on shore got started someplace, possibly hundreds \nof miles away, where the wind direction was more or less blowing toward the \nshore, and they have continued despite having the wind now blowing at them. \nAt the same time, there are new waves being formed by the wind you feel, \nand they will build up and head away from the shore. At some time in \nnext several days, they may be breaking on a beach on the other side of the \nocean, and cause some curious kid to wonder where they came from. Now you \ncould answer, "They started one day right off this beach."

The sand is wind blown, as it flows over the surface irregularities in the surface, or eddies in the wind slow it down in places and the sand is deposited ontoi the ground, this causes further flow disturbance and the sand pile expands upwards (in height).  The mini dune will have sloping sides, the side into the wind being longer and less steep than the leward side, and there is a limit for the steepness of the slope which is maintainable with dry sand(not sure what it is but look it up).  If the slope is greater than the limit, the sand will roll down hill spreading the dune along the ground (in the direction the wind is going).  This fills in the gap in front of the dune and raises the surface level, allowing more sand to build up on top, which then begins to move forward in a repeating cycle.

I think you hear the wind blow through it

Why would you advise anyone to jump off a short cliff? seems kinda pointless, doesnt it? In answer to your question, go to the manufactures website and try to find the instruction manual.

"Wind is the roughly horizontal movement of air (as opposed to an air current) caused by uneven heating of the Earth's surface."\n\nThe sun heats up the earth's surface, the hot air rises while the cool air sinks, therefore create air movement - which is called wind.

It depends. Wind is the movement of air. If the wind contains warm moist air, then yes the temperature and humidity will be affected. It temp and humidity of the air in the wind is the same as the air it replaces then no there will be no effect.

Wind erosion is both a destroyer and preserver. When wind erodes a place, certainly it deposits the sediments and leaves, seeds etc. to other place, giving the other place a new life.\nHowever in some cases it acts only as a destroyer, only because of human activities as they cut the trees but don't bother to plant again. So fertile land gets wasted.

The answer my friend, is blowing in the wind.

The wind blows sand and rubble. Erosion might also cause the land to shift.

Unlikely because the storm will weaken after going over land. Spots along the coastline will probably get some very strong SSE-SE wind gusts off the ocean when the storm approaches - probably not 70 mph.
