Well you could modify land in order to make it more productive to the task. If it is an agricultural enterprise,you could till land. You could also provide government incentives for utilization of land for specific purposes - for example some governments may give tax breaks if certain parcels of land are used for a particular industry by private enterprise.

Labor can be improved by better education and training supported by government policies.

Capital would be improved by making more fixed investment - producing certain kinds of machines, quality control standards etc.

Enterprise can be encouraged by attracting foreign direct investment or inciting MNCs to invest in your country. Incentives can also be given to entrepreneurs.

How do sandstorm become sandstorms?

Asked by Wiki User

"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.

Do sandstorms kill?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

Of course you can, mainly from suffocation.

Answer

I really don't see how you could be killed by a sand storm. I imagine that you could be killed as a result of one. You could be driving through a heavy one and run off the road and die from injuries sustained in the accident.

Take shelter wherever possible to keep from breathing the airborne particles. If caught in drifts in the open, locate an area where you can create a breathing space. If possible, move toward higher ground, and breathe through a dampened cloth.
