A DUST STORM or SAND STORM is a meteorological phenomenom common in arid and semi-aridf regions.SAND SORMS arise when a gust front or other strong wind blows loose sand and dirt from a dry surface..
Not necessarily. Any strong wind that picks up loose sediment across an area can generate a dust storm. Many of these are not accompanied by precipitation. There is one type of dust storm, though, called a haboob, that is often produced by the outflow of a thunderstorm. Such haboobs may be followed by heavy rain.
The process happens like this: In Sudan every year at the end of April, temperature began to increase more and more up to (49-50 C) at that time a wind called samoom (very hot and dry, with humidity less than 5%). Working to make the soil very loose, and when the first front of the wet air from Congo basin arriving to the north part of Sudan, it led to form a thunder clouds, sandstorm formes by the downdraft winds of a thunderstorm, and the high wall of sand moves under these clouds, Reduced visibility to zero when it hit any place, the force of haboob depends on (If the temperature is sufficiently severe or not). It isn't confined only to Sudan, it happens in Arizona and other deserts as well.
No, a haboob is not a tornado.
A haboob can mainly just cause power outages and tree damage.
Haboob means, "forceful wind" in Arabic. If you are caught in a Haboob, you are caught in a forceful wind. The forceful wind is usually associated with dust, dirt, or sand. Forceful winds with dust, dirt, or sand are considered sand storms, so a Haboob is usually a sand storm.
