This wind is usually caused by convection currents (which are created by intense heating of the ground), and is usually strong enough to move entire sand dunes. Air is unstable when heated, and this instability in the air will cause the mixture of higher winds in the troposphere with winds in the lower atmosphere, producing strong surface winds.

sandstorms occur in deserts all over the world. However, the magnitude of sandstorms that occur in the United States usually pale in comparison to those in other parts of the world such as the Middle East and China. In addition, it should be noted that sandstorms typically occur most frequently in spring.

It is impossible to give a complete list of where sandstorms occur because, to some extent, they can occur virtually anywhere. The main three geographic regions are the Middle East, Northern Africa, and Northern China. Here is a list of countries most typically associated with sandstorms because of their geography and climate:

Afghanistan, Algeria, Bahrain, China, Egypt, Iran, Iraq, Israel, Kuwait, Lebanon, Libya, Mongolia, Oman, Qatar, Saudi Arabia, Sudan, Syria, United Arab Emirates, Uzbekistan

Notice that the United States is not on the list. That is because, relatively speaking, sandstorms are a rare and minor occurrence in comparison to certain other natural disasters such as hurricanes and earthquakes. Nevertheless, in the United States sandstorms occur in the southwest in states such as Arizona, Texas, and New Mexico and are frequent in Death Valley.
In sandy areas, such as sandy deserts.
