Dust Storm Color 319 - #E5CCC9
The term dust storm is more likely to be used when finer particles are blown
long distances, especially when the dust storm affects urban areas.
A dust storm or sand storm is a meteorological phenomenon common in arid and
semi-arid regions. Dust storms arise when a gust front or other strong wind
blows loose sand and dirt from a dry surface. Particles are transported by
saltation and suspension, a process that moves soil from one place and deposits
it in another.
The term sandstorm is used most often in the context of desert sandstorms,
especially in the Sahara, or places where sand is a more prevalent soil type
than dirt or rock, when, in addition to fine particles obscuring visibility, a
considerable amount of larger sand particles are blown closer to the surface.
