A sandstorm is a weather phenomenon where strong winds carry large amounts of sand through the air, significantly reducing visibility. It's like a dust storm, but with larger, coarser particles. 🏜️ Imagine being surrounded by a swirling cloud of sand that stings your skin—that's a sandstorm. These storms are common in desert regions and can bury buildings and vehicles. They pose hazards to human health and transportation. Unlike a dust storm, the sand particles are heavier and settle more quickly. Sandstorms can be truly apocalyptic!
