What happens during a dust storm?
Dust storms are caused by very strong winds - often produced by thunderstorms. In dry regions, the winds can pull dust from the ground up into the air, creating a dust storm. These two features allow winds to build up momentum, causing the winds to grow stronger and drive more dust into the atmosphere.
