Dust Storms is also commonly known as Stand Storms. These storms occur when the force of the wind exceeds, which in return pulls away very large amount of loose sand from any dry surface of the desert region. Such Sand Storms are changing both the local and global climate, and are the major cause of destruction to the local economies. The Sahara Desert which is in northern Africa is amongst the very well known areas that produces huge dust storms. The heavy wind-blown dust from the Sahara desert dust promotes the growth of algae and plays a crucial role in fertilization and production of the planktons.
Sahara Desert produces strong, turbulent wind of large clouds, these activities are the huge storm that carries with itself fine dust. Which are estimated to be raised to heights well over 10,000 ft (3000 m) and carried for hundreds or thousands of miles (1 mi = 1.6 km). A Sahara sand cloud rises above 3.3–6.6 ft (1–2 m) is one of the most huge dust cloud raised this high at any desert storms. Dust storm are the most common factor that causes enormous soil erosion, which results in mass destruction and human life ware and tear. |
