A swirling storm of sand in the desert is called a dust devil. Dust devils are small, rotating columns of air that pick up dust and debris from the ground, creating a visible vortex. They typically form on hot, sunny days when the ground heats the air above it, causing it to rise rapidly. While they can vary in size and intensity, dust devils are generally harmless and short-lived.
