Dust storms occur when fast-moving winds scour surface dirt and transport it across the ground. The term sandstorm usually applies to large quantities of heavier sand being blown by extremely strong winds. Where accumulations or dunes exist in dry climates, sand and dirt is easily picked up and moved horizontally, forming new dunes or accumulating on downwind land and structures.
