Why does sand storm come
The sand storm is a natural seasonal phenomenon, mainly in the desert area. Due to the heat, a low pressure area is formed in these areas, causing strong winds. Hot winds and unstable weather trigger sand storms. Sometimes cold and hot air collision also causes a storm.
The main reasons for the storm …
Strong winds: One of the main reasons for the sand storm is also strong winds. Sometimes when the speed of air is more than 30-50 km/h, it starts flying sand and dust and takes the form of a storm.
Dry soil and sand: The soil and sand are loose and dry due to lack of moisture in desert areas. This makes the air easily blows the sand.
Geographical location: Sahar and Arabian deserts present in the Middle East are more sensitive to sand storms. These areas are dried and open, where there are large amounts.
Human activities: The grazing of animals, deforestation and soil erosion in the plains expand the desert area, causing sand storms.
