FAQs (Frequently Asked Questions):

What Is a Dust Storm?

A dust storm is a wall of dust and debris caused by strong winds from thunderstorms. They occur worldwide, mainly in the Middle East and North Africa.

On average, about 44 billion pounds (20 teragrams) of dust are in Earth’s atmosphere at any one time.

What causes a dust storm?

Dust storms form from solid winds caused by thunderstorms, lifting dust in dry areas. Flat regions with few trees and plants are more prone to dust storms as this allows winds to gain momentum, carrying more dust into the air.

Why are dust storms a problem?

Although dust storms may end after just a few minutes, dust can hang in the air and cause problems for days or months.

Why it can be hazardous?

Dust storms are dangerous. They make it hard to see while driving and cause accidents. They also affect aeroplanes, causing delays, cancellations, and mechanical problems. Dusty air during a dust storm can cause health problems, especially for people with asthma.
