CHAPTER II
DISCUSSION
A. Definition of wind and cloud
1. Definition of wind
In the Al-Qur’an, wind is called rīḥ in the mufrad form and riyāḥ in the
plural form. It is repeated in the Koran as much as 29 times which are
scattered in 26 chapters, 21 surah Makiyyah and 5 surah Madaniyyah. The
word rīḥ in the singular form is repeated in the Qur'an 19 times, while the
word riyāḥ is repeated in the Qur'an 10 times. In Arabic, linguistically, the
word rīḥ is defined as fresh air (nasim alhawa '), moving air (al-hawa' iza
taharrakat), and gifts and strength (ar-rahmah wal-quwwah). In connection
with the meaning of this word as a power or a source of energy that can be
utilized by humans, rīḥ ṭayyibah (good wind in Qs. Yunus: 22 at first glance it
is like talking only about a boat that still uses sails and needs wind to move it.
But actually, the word rīḥ is also used to mean strength or energy as Allah
2
says in QS. Al-Anfāl: 46
“And obey Allah and His Messenger and do not argue, which causes
you to be afraid and lose your strength and be patient. Verily Allah is with
those who are patient.
Likewise, the information of the Koran about the strength and energy of
wind that has been subdued by Prophet Solomon can also be a sign that the
meaning of wind is not just 'moving air' and as an important factor in the
process of falling rain, but can also be used as strength. move ships that sail
super fast and become a source of natural energy(Puadah, 2016).
2. Definition of cloud
Clouds are clumps of air vapor floating in the atmosphere. Clouds look
like white or gray smoke in the sky. White clouds are caused because sunlight
is a combination of various rays with different wavelengths (colors). The air
and ice grains in the cloud are evenly distributed in various directions
throughout the sunshine component. The blending of rays with different
wavelengths evenly produces white color. Globally, the cloud system has a
role to filter, reduce, and even completely eliminate solar radiation. However,
if the sun appears to be peeking out from the clouds, for example, the glow of
solar radiation from that cloud will actually make solar radiation increase
compared to no clouds at all. Mixed solar radiation can indeed increase the
size or size of the incoming solar radiation. Depending on the type of cloud.
Thin cloud layers and clouds are known to reflect incoming sunlight and
increase radiation diffusion. In fact, thick clouds will reduce the mix. Billions
of water droplets or ice crystals floating in the air make up the clouds. The
following are the types and how they are formed.

classification based on the vertical motion mechanism is (Nurmaeta Alif,
2009):
a. Stratiform
These clouds cause continuous rain caused by macro scale air
rise by fronts or convergence or topography. The rain area is quite
wide, the intensity of the rain is small and drizzling to moderate rain,
the upward air flow in this cloud covers a large area but is weak.
b. Cumuliform
These clouds cause localized rain which is caused by
convection located in unstable air. Heavy rain intensity from normal
to heavy rain (shower). The upward flow of air within this cloud
covers a small but strong area
4
Based on the height of the clouds can be divided into:
Sirus cloud
Cirrus clouds are composed of ice crystals, smooth like fine fibers and
straight. Sometimes forming curves that are irregular in arrangement.
Often occurs over Cumulus. looks shiny because it contains lots of ice
crystals.
Stratus clouds
Stratus clouds will appear as a vast plain visible. Arranged in such a
way that the gray color and the white color will depend on the density
and the fall of sunlight on the surface, Clouds that are layered like thin
fog are called Stratus clouds.
Cumulus clouds
This cumulus cloud develops quite literally, has the shape of domes
resembling cauliflower with round curves that are brilliant white when
exposed to sunlight. These clouds produce sudden heavy rain with a
duration of about one hour
Nimbus clouds
The characteristics of Nimbus clouds are clouds that are dark in color,
look wet and cause rain
Cumulonimbus clouds
This lay has a gently sloping cloud base, “pillar” of towering clouds
and a peak that is shaped like an anvil or plinth for hammering metal.
2. Cloud Hazard
Can disrupt the electrical system and aircraft navigation, caused by
cumulonimbus clouds.
Stacks of cumulonimbus clouds have the potential to generate an electric
charge which triggers a thunderstorm
Creates strong and strong wind gusts, for example Lenticular Clouds or
pancakes or UFO.

Mammatus clouds, indicating the arrival of extreme weather
b. As a Weather Controller
The high water content in clouds can also regulate temperature and
weather through the rain process.

ocean. The air over land is cooler than the ocean and again creates a pressure
distribution with the high pressure now over land. Now the wind blows in the
opposite direction from land to sea and becomes a land wind. The temperature
difference between land-sea is usually smaller at night than during the day, so
the land wind is weaker than the sea breeze.

3) Wind Fall
Falling winds are dry and hot. Fohn winds or falling winds are dry and
hot winds falling on the slopes of the Alpine mountains. This type of wind is
widely available in Indonesia with the names Bahorok wind (Deli), Kumbang
wind (Cirebon), Gending wind in Pasuruan (East Java), and Brubu wind in
South Sulawesi).
Fohn Winds (Falling Winds) are winds that occur according to
Orographic rain. A wind that blows in an area with different temperature and
humidity. The Fohn winds occur because there is a movement of air masses
up the mountains more than 200 meters high, up on one side and then down
on the other. The Fohn winds that fall from the top of the mountain are hot
and dry, because water vapor has been removed during orographic rains.
9
Usually these winds are hot damaging and can cause casualties. Plants
exposed to this wind can die and humans who are exposed to this wind can
lose their resistance to disease.

1) Trade wind
Trade winds are winds blowing constantly throughout the year from
the subtropics towards the equator (equator). It consists of the Northeast
Passat Winds blowing in the Northern Hemisphere and the Southeast Passat
Winds blowing in the Southern Hemisphere. Around the equator, these two
trade winds meet. Because the temperature in the tropics is always high, the
air mass is forced to rise vertically (convection). The area where the two trade
winds meet is called the Inter-Tropical Convergence Area (DKAT). DKAT is
characterized by a temperature that is always high. As a result of this increase
in air mass, the DKAT area was free from typhoons. As a result, this area is
called the doldrum area (quiet area).
10
2) Anti-air wind
The anti-trade winds above, the equatorial areas that flow to the arctic
regions and down in the subtropical maximum areas are anti-passat winds. In
the northern hemisphere it is called the Southwest Anti Passat Wind and in the
Southern hemisphere it is called the Anti-Passat Northwest Wind. In the area
around latitude 20o - 30o North Latitude and South Latitude, the anti-trade
winds fall back down vertically as a dry wind. This dry wind absorbs water
vapor in the air and land surface. As a result, deserts were formed on earth, for
example the deserts in Saudi Arabia, the Sahara Desert (Africa), and the
deserts in Australia. In the Subtropic area (30o - 40o North Latitude / LS)
there is a "shady subtropical" area where the air is calm, descends from above,
and there is no wind. Whereas in the equatorial area between 10o N - 10o
South Latitude there is also a quiet area called the "shady equator" or
"doldrum area"
3) West wind
Some of the air that comes from the maximum areas of North and
South subtropics flows to the North and moderate areas of the South as the
West wind. The influence of the Western wind on the Northern hemisphere is
less pronounced because of the resistance of the continents. In the southern
hemisphere, the influence of this western wind is very large, especially in the
60o latitude area. Here the west wind blew very strong which the sailors
called roaring forties. (Sofyan, 2016)
4) East Wind
In the Arctic and South Pole areas of the earth there are areas with
maximum air pressure. From this area the wind flows to the subpolar
minimum area (60oLU / LS). This wind is called the East wind. This east
wind is cold because it comes from the arctic region.
5) Monsoon Winds (Monsoon)
The monsoon winds are winds that blow periodically (at least 3
months) and between periods they will have opposite patterns that change
direction in the opposite direction every half year. Generally in the first half of
the year dry land winds blow and the following half year wet sea winds blow.
In October - April, the sun is in the southern part of the sky, so that the
Australian continent receives more solar warming from the Asian continent.
As a result, in Australia there are centers of low air pressure (depression)
while in Asia there are centers of high air pressure (compression). This
situation causes wind currents from the Asian continent to the Australian
continent. In Indonesia, this wind is the Northeast monsoon in the Northern
Hemisphere and the West monsoons in the Southern Hemisphere. Because
11
this wind passes through the Pacific Ocean and Indian Ocean, it carries a lot
of water vapor, so that generally in Indonesia there is a rainy season. The
rainy season covers all parts of Indonesia, it's just that the distribution is not
evenly distributed. the more to the east the rainfall decreases because of the
less water vapor content. (Sofyan, 2016)
In April-October, the sun is in the northern sky, so the Asian continent
is hotter than the continent of Australia. As a result, in Asia there are centers
of low air pressure, while in Australia there are centers of high air pressure
that cause winds from Australia to Asia. In Indonesia there are east monsoons
in the southern hemisphere and southwest monsoons in the northern
hemisphere.

monsoon
Because it does not pass through a wide ocean, the wind does not
contain much moisture. Therefore, in general, the dry season occurs in
Indonesia, except for the west coast of Sumatra, Southeast Sulawesi, and the
south coast of Irian Jaya. Between the two seasons there is a season called
transitional (transition) season, namely: dry season which is the transition
from the rainy season to the dry season, and the wet season which is the
transition from the dry season to the rainy season. As for the characteristics of
the transition season, namely: The air feels hot, the wind direction is irregular
and there is sudden rain in a short and heavy time.
From the explanation above, it can be concluded that monsoons can be
divided into two types, namely:
12
a. The west monsoon or west monsoon winds, namely the winds that
blow from Asia to Australia and bring rainfall so that in Indonesia
there is a rainy season. This wind blows from October to April.
b. The east monsoon or east monsoon winds, namely the winds that blow
from Australia to Asia and do not bring rainfall so that in Indonesia
there is a dry season. This wind blows from April to October.
1. Wind Cyclones: Its movement towards minimum air pressure. In the northern
part of the earth, this wind moves counterclockwise, on the other hand in the
southern part of the earth it moves clockwise.
2. Anticyclone Winds: Wind leaving the area of maximum pressure. This wind
movement in the north is clockwise, and in the south is counterclockwise.
3. Fixed wind
The first type of wind is fixed wind. Fixed wind is a wind that has a constant
blowing direction throughout the year. This fixed wind is divided into two types,
namely trade winds and anti-tactile winds. Trade winds are winds that blow from
subtropical areas towards the equator or the equator. Meanwhile, the anti-ploy
wind is the wind that blows from the equator to the subtropics.
According to (el-Banjary, 2016) the next step is to know the nature and
characteristics of the types of wind that can be used to determine the direction of the
Qibla, Sheikh Zubaer Umar al-Jaelani said in his book al-Khulashah al-Wafiyyah:
13
"Shaba wind (its characteristics) are hot and dry, Dabur wind has cold and humid
characteristics, Janub wind is hot and the temperature is humid, while the Shamal
wind has cold and dry characteristics."
Wind greatly affects human life, some of its effects are beneficial to humans,
and some are capable of destroying humans. Winds that are beneficial to humans,
such as winds that bring rain, or winds of land and sea that help fishermen sail. And,
the wind that is capable of destroying humans, for example tornado.
14
Whirlwinds, which lay people also call leysus winds, which are also known as
bohorok winds in Sumatra, or also known as tornadoes in America, are winds that
rotate at high speed moving in a straight line that form the relationship between the
clouds. with the ground. Typically, tornado wind speeds are 177 km / hr or more with
an average range of 75 m and cover several kilometers before disappearing on their
own. Wind Tornadoin America, the speed can even reach 320 km / hour and a
diameter of 500 meters. Tornado winds - with wind speeds of more than 300-480
km / hr and width of more than 1.6 km - can withstand destruction at ground level for
more than 100 km. This wind can destroy anything in its path, because with its
vortex, objects that are passed can be lifted and thrown away.
Whirlwinds often occur during the day or evening during the transition
season. Initially visible white clouds towering like cauliflower, then develop into dark
clouds accompaniedgusts of cold air, and the wind began to shake the trees violently
to the left and right, then the wind swirled faster and faster and was followed by
heavy rain and even hail. As a result of solar radiation during the day, black clouds
grow vertically, then in the cloud there is a turbulent air current up and down at a
fairly high speed. Air currents descending at high speed blow to the earth's surface
suddenly and travel randomly.
As Allah explains:
"And also on Aad's (story) when We sent them the winds that destroy" (Surah Adz
Dzariyat 51:41)
15
"The wind does not let a single thing in its path, but turns it into powder." (Surah Adz
Dzariyat 51:42)
If the air is heated, it expands, causing the air's density to decrease. The
impact of heating this air causes the density of air to be smaller (lighter) than cold air
(greater density) around it so that hot air moves up (moves upward). If this happens,
the air pressure becomes low because the air is reduced. The cold air around him
flowed into the low pressure place earlier. The hot air above then gradually cools
down, the air eventually shrinks so that it becomes heavier (greater density) and
descends to the ground. Above the ground the cold air becomes hot again and moves
up again. This flow of rising hot air and falling cold air is called convection.
As Allah explains:
16
"And it is He who blows the wind as a bearer of happy news before the coming of His
grace (rain); so that when the wind has brought a cloudy cloud, We will drive it to a
barren area, then We send rain on that area, so We send it out, because the rain is all
kinds of fruit. Like that We raise people who have died, hopefully you take a lesson. "
17
CHAPTER III
CLOSING
A. Conclusion
We can conclude that cloud can be differentiated by based on cloud
formation, based on the shape, based on the height, based on the morphology.
And clouds have many benefits for our lives. Whereas the wind can be
distinguished by local winds and monsoons. And winds have many benefits too
for our lives.
B. Suggestion
In making this thesis, the author realizes that there are still deficiencies
and errors caused by the limited knowledge that the author has. Therefore, the
authors ask for constructive criticism and suggestions from readers.
