"Sand tornadoes" are more properly called dust devils because they are not truly tornadoes. Most heat in the atmosphere comes from the sun heating the ground which transfers heat to the air. On hot, sunny days when the sun heat areas of bare ground the air just above the ground can become superheated, reaching temperatures as high as 140 degrees while the air just a couple feet above it remains much cooler. However since hot air is less dense than cool air this setup is extremely unstable, but in some cases it remains balanced until something such as a gust of wind disturbs it. As the wind blows it obtains eddies from buildings, plants, and hills it passes over. If one of these eddies links up with a spot of rising hot air the spin inward moving air speeds it up due to the conservation of angular momentum, producing a vortex with relatively strong winds. The winds and updraft then lift dust and sand into the air, forming a dust devil.
