In the Middle East and North Africa, sand and dust storms are among nature’s most violent phenomena. And in the U.S., these storms are common in the Southwest in the springtime. Sandstorms happen when strong winds pass over loose, dry sand or soil. Rising debris can form walls of material up to 3 m (10 ft) high. But in a monster sandstorm, it could rise to 25 m (82 ft) above the ground.
