Most storms bring rain or snow,but some bring sand.A sandstorm is a powerful natural
event.It happens when strong winds lift sand into the air and blow it
over long distances.
Sandstorms need certain conditions to develop:dry areas with few
plants to hold the soil (and strong winds.These storms often
begin in deserts,like the Sahara in Africa,known for sending out much
of the world's dust ()Droughts,along with human activities like
cutting down trees,make it easier for the winds to lift the sand.
Sandstorms start when the wind blows across the ground and pushes larger sand grains
This causes the sand to roll (along the surface,a process called "surface creep".Next,
smaller sand grains move up and down in short jumps,known as "saltation".This helps move
most of the sand.When these smaller grains hit the ground,they send tiny bits of dust into
the air.The dust can travel far,even across oceans.
Sandstorms are harmful.They can quickly cover large areas,making it difficult to see.
This can cause car accidents or make airports close.Breathing in the dust can harm our lungs
()It is important to take measures (to protect ourselves from sandstorms and stay
safe.
