It is called a dust devil.
wind blows sand and creates a sand storm.
A low cloud of windblown grains of sand is called a sandstorm. Sandstorms can be intense and may reduce visibility, causing potential hazards such as respiratory problems and damage to property.
There are two factors: lighting and soil. How the light hits a tornado is important. If a tornado is lit from behind, (relative to the viewer) it will appear dark, if it is lit from the front it will often appear light. The same tornado may appear light or dark depending on where it is relative to your position. The link below shows two pictures taken of the same tornado at about the same time, but from opposite sides. The soil can also affect the color of a tornado. Some tornadoes lift up large amounts of sand, dust, and dirt. When this happens dark soil will give a tornado a dark appearance and light soil will give it a light appearance.
No, moon sand does not come from the actual moon in space. Moon sand is a type of moldable sand-like substance that is made for play and is unrelated to the moon. It is typically a mixture of sand and other materials designed to have a unique texture.
Moon sand is a type of toy sand that sticks together because it is coated with a special substance like dimethicone. This coating reduces the friction between the sand particles, allowing them to move more freely and stick together easily when squeezed or molded.
Nothing really, you can't prevent a sand storm. If you don't like them then move to a place where there's no sand/dirt
In North America a swirling column of sand is called a dust devil. It resembles a tornado in appearance but does not extend to a cloud base and the winds are not nearly as strong.
It is unlikely that a sand storm could blow down a well-built, sturdy building. However, a severe sand storm could potentially cause damage to the exterior of a building or weaken its structure over time if it is not properly maintained.
No. A "sand tornado" (which is a dust devil, not an actual tornado) will move in whatever direction the wind around it is blowing.
Lots of sand and dust best not to get into one

A good example of sand, silt, and clay carried by a tornado falling to the ground would be the aftermath of the tornado where you can see different layers of sediment deposited on the ground. This layering effect occurs because of the varying sizes and weights of the particles in the tornado's air current, with heavier particles such as sand falling first followed by finer particles like silt and clay settling on top.
Large storm waves usually carry sand AWAY FROM the beach.

A sand tornado is not a true tornado but a phenomenon called a dust devil. A dust devil takes for form of a whirling cloud of dust as dust is sucked up by the vortex. It may appear tubelike and gradually fades into nothing farther up.
