Is the sentence trees were bing blown over by wind a passive voice or an active voice?

The sentence "Trees were being blown over by wind" is in the passive voice.

Here's why:

* Passive voice: The object of the action (the trees) is the subject of the sentence. The action (being blown over) is performed by the wind, but the wind is not the subject.

* Active voice: The subject of the sentence would be the doer of the action (the wind). For example, "The wind was blowing the trees over."
