Well one answer is that the witches have the power to control the wind. This is used for example in act , scene III when the witches discuss of their evil deeds, the first witch uses her power of the wind (and the second witch's) to put a sailor's boat (the husband of the lady who refused to give her the chestnuts she asked for) on unfriendly water as she strands him at sea for 81 weeks without sleep. That is the only one I have found in reading so far if I find the other answers while I read I will be sure to post them.
