Dust storms occur when there is dust and wind. Country areas have more dust surrounding them than cities, so when the wind picks up there is a higher chance of creating a dust storm.
usually during dry conditions with less moisture in the atmosphere,fires and dust storms easily occur...example in Ghana during the "harmattan" season which is also known as the dry seson,bush fires and dust storms are rampant
Intensive agriculture in the southern states of the USA had taken all the goodness out of the soil, so it became very dusty.
Mars has massive dust storms. All of the dusts particles make sort of a tornado.The dust storms of Mars are even more impressive than the dust storms of Earth.
no they are very strong!
No, dust storms can occur anywhere that is arid or undergoing drought conditions. A ploughed field and shed a lot of dust on a windy, dry day.

In the deserts.

Dust storms are most likely to occur on hot summer days under certain atmospheric conditions, so meteorologists can frequently predict the possibility of these storms.
Dust Storms
Dust storms are most likely to occur on hot summer days under certain atmospheric conditions, so meteorologists can frequently predict the possibility of these storms. The last recorded devastating sandstorm in American history was the Dust Bowl which caused the depression. One that occurred near Tucson, Arizona, on July 16, 1971, was extensively documented by meteorologists. Field observations, accompanied by trapping of airborne solids, showed that in Israel most of the sand and dust storms occur in the fall and winter seasons when dry periods change to periods of wet weather. In Kuwait, the month of April is known as 'sandstorm month'. Sandstorms that come from Northern Africa and drift across Europe are called 'Sahara Sand Storms'.
Yes, there are occasional dust storms in the Atacama Desert.
Mars has dust storms. The winds increase and the temperature drops. These storms can last for a month or more, and are quite common on Mars.
