Is sandstorm a geological disaster?

This is a geological disaster.

Because in geology, there is the concept of geological action. Geological processes include internal geological processes and external geological processes. It is precisely because of various geological processes that various geological forms have emerged.

The internal geological processes are mainly the heat energy in the earth, which mainly occurs in the earth, including magmatism, crustal movement, earthquake and metamorphism.

External geological processes are caused by atmospheric, water and biological factors, with solar energy and gravitational energy of the sun and the moon as energy sources.

Sandstorm belongs to denudation and transportation in external force geology and a manifestation of geological action.

Like earthquakes and volcanic eruptions, sandstorms have changed the surface morphology. The Loess Plateau in China can be regarded as the result of this geological process.
