Loo is a hot, dusty wind that typically blows during the summer months in the Indian subcontinent. Dust storms can occur in various regions around the world, but they are most common in arid and semi-arid areas where loose soil or sand particles are easily picked up by strong winds.
When soil dries out, high winds can erode it and form a dust storm. The fine particles of soil become airborne and spread across the landscape, creating a phenomenon known as a dust storm or dust bowl. This can have detrimental effects on air quality, agriculture, and human health in the affected areas.
The water droplets will mix with the dust particles and bring the dust to earth, leaving the air less dusty.
This phenomenon is known as a dust storm or sandstorm. It can result in reduced visibility, respiratory issues, and damage to property and agriculture. Dust storms are often triggered by strong wind gusts in arid regions or during drought periods.
All you need to do after a dust storm is to clean up. Wait until the dust storm has difinitely gone. The first step is to dust inside the house. The dust and grit can remain as residue for some time, so it is best to clean up as soon as possible after the storm has well and truly gone. Don't forget to reach up high, above light fittings and so on, to get all the dust. Avoid using any water to help in the clean-up. One website suggests putting an old stocking or pantyhose over a broom head to help collect the dust. The static charge created by the friction of the pantyhose holds the dust to the material. When the pantyhose is dirty, tap it out on to newspaper. Shake cushions, mats and rugs outside. It's suggested that, because dust does not always lift easily from carpets with vacuuming, sprinkle the carpet with unprocessed wheat bran. This acts as an abrasive and attracts the dust. For a standard carpet-filled house, a kilogram is required. Use methylated spirits or white vinegar to clean windows. For cleaning wooden floors, it is suggested you use a used damp teabag with your broom. Not only will they help pick up the dust, the teabag will replace tannins in the timber and kill dust mites, too. Your clothes will also need to be shaken outside. Over a period of time, any amount of humidity combining with the dust will form rust marks on the material. In a heavy storm, dust will even have seeped through closed cupboard doors.
Yes. There are blizzards, snow storms, dust storms, ice storms, tornadoes (though they come from thunderstorms), and cyclones (including hurricanes).

Because the dust bowl is the SOURCE of the dust raised by a dust storm.
The worst dust storm that ever occurred happened in 1989.
Sandstorm is a general term for a windy storm! Usually they take place in dusty areas, such as a desert, and as a result blow dust everywhere.

Like the length of a piece of string, he height of a dust storm depends on the storm and its location. Some Asian dust storms have impacted the stratosphere (8 to 30 miles high)
No. Dust storms cannot be stopped.
After a dust storm, the dust settles and visibility improves. Clean-up efforts may be needed to remove dust from surfaces and machinery. It is important to check for any damage caused by the storm and ensure that any disrupted services are restored.
Dust, as particles of dust are finer than grains of sand.
