Sandstorm range
Sandstorm weather mainly occurs in late spring and early summer. This is because there is little precipitation in winter and spring in arid areas, the surface is unusually dry and loose, and the wind erosion resistance is very weak. When there is a strong wind blowing, a lot of dust will be involved in the air, forming sandstorm weather.
Globally, sandstorms mostly occur in inland desert areas, mainly the Sahara desert in Africa, and the midwest of North America and Australia are also one of the sources of sandstorms.
Due to its unique geographical environment, the northwest of China is also a region where sandstorms frequently occur. The main source areas are Gurbantunggut Desert, Taklimakan Desert, Badain Jaran Desert, Tengger Desert, Wulanbuhe Desert and Mu Us Desert.
Sandstorm refers to the weather phenomenon that strong winds blow up dust on the ground, making the air very turbid and the horizontal visibility less than 1km. Sandstorm is a weather phenomenon in wind erosion and desertification, and its formation is influenced by both natural factors and human activities.
Natural factors include strong wind, decreased precipitation and its sand source. Human activity factor refers to the increase of sandstorm frequency after vegetation destruction in the process of economic development.
Sandstorm weather mainly occurs in winter and spring. This is because there is little precipitation in winter and spring in semi-arid and arid areas, the surface is extremely dry and loose, and the wind erosion resistance is very weak. When the wind blows, a lot of dust will be entrained in the air, forming sandstorm weather.
