How does a gust of wind move dust - dirt - and other particles?

The atoms, molecules, and small particles in air have mass. Wind is the name we give to a moving mass of air. Moving masses possess kenetic energy. Some of this energy can be transfered by collision, to dust, dirt and other particles on the ground, so they are forced to move too. A leaf blower makes use of this principle.

Do weak tornadoes form along a thunderstorms gust front?
Depends on how you define a tornado. If your definition is a swirling mess of dust and ground debris, then yes. But a true tornado is attached to the cloud base in the updraft section of a storm. A gust front is an outflow of cold air from the downdraft part of the storm. Associated with a Gust front is low, fast-moving clouds and extreme straight-line winds. In a gust-front, the clouds are usually not attached to the cloud base. Due to the straight line winds, debris can be picked off the ground and spin in the air. These are called gust-nadoes. These gust-nadoes are usually quite weak like you said, but are not classified as actual tornadoes. These gust-nadoes are about as equivalent to a dust devil found in dry regions, or other wind caused swirls.
Can you give me a BIG paragraph about the sand storm in the Sahara desert?
A dust storm or sand storm is ameteorological phenomenon common in aridand semi-arid regions. Dust storms arise when a gust front or other strong wind blows loose sand and dirt from a dry surface. Particles are transported by saltation and suspension, a process that moves soil from one place anddeposits it in another. The Sahara and drylandsaround the Arabian peninsula are the main terrestrial sources of airborne dust, with some contributions from Iran, Pakistan and India into the Arabian Sea, and China's significant storms deposit dust in the Pacific. It has been argued that recently, poor management of the Earth's drylands, such as neglecting the fallow system, are increasing dust storms from desert margins and changing both the local and global climate, and also impacting local economies.[1] The termsandstormis used most often in the context ofdesert sandstorms, especially in the Sahara, or places where sand is a more prevalent soil type than dirt or rock, when, in addition to fine particles obscuring visibility, a considerable amount of larger sand particles are blown closer to the surface. The term dust storm is more likely to be used when finer particles are blown long distances, especially when the dust storm affects urban areas. I hope this is gonna help u if u r intelligent enough :)
