Where does the sandstorm come from?

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.

The weather situation favorable to strong winds or strong winds, favorable distribution of dust sources and favorable air instability conditions are sandstorms or sandstorms in Gobi desert accompanied by strong sandstorms.

The main reason for success. Strong wind is the driving force of sandstorm, and the source of sandstorm is the material basis of sandstorm. Unstable thermal conditions are conducive to the increase of wind power and the development of strong convection, thus carrying more dust and winding it higher.
