Central Asia has a high terrain, why is there dusty weather?

It is dominated by temperate continental climate, with intense heat in winter, large annual temperature difference and scarce precipitation.

Vegetation is mainly grassland and desert. Due to the scarcity of precipitation in Central Asia, which is mostly arid and semi-arid climate zone, the vegetation is mainly grassland and desert, and the world-famous Karakum Desert is distributed.

Because it is located in the hinterland of Eurasia, especially in the southeast, the mountains block the warm and humid airflow in the Indian Ocean and the Pacific Ocean, and the climate in this area is a typical temperate desert grassland continental climate. Its outstanding features are as follows:

First of all, the rain is scarce and extremely dry.

Second, there is plenty of sunshine and large evaporation.

Third, the temperature changes dramatically. In many places, the difference between the highest temperature during the day and the lowest temperature at night can reach 20-30℃
