OCR: In his investigations of water waves formed as a result of wind, Leonardo considers wind-generated waves in a field of grass and traces of wave patterns visible in the sand. He goes on to draw analogies regarding the structure of the cosmos, comparing the action of air in the fire sphere (which he saw as the outermost layer of the cosmos) with the action of water in the sphere of air.
