KnowraDust devilLinked fromLinked fromThe 9 pages that link to Dust devil, each with the reason it gives.All 9Broader topic 1Related 1Compared with 7Dust stormCompared with: Unlike regional dust storms, it concentrates dust in a narrow rotating column.ThermalRelated: Strong surface heating can produce dust devils, a visible cousin of thermal updrafts.TornadoCompared with: It can look tornado-like but is not typically produced by a thunderstorm.VortexBroader topic: It illustrates how surface heating can generate a weak atmospheric vortex.LandspoutCompared with: Both can look like narrow columns, but a landspout is connected to a thunderstorm.Fire whirlCompared with: Both are rotating columns, but a dust devil does not require a fire or flame.GustnadoCompared with: Both can raise dust, but gustnadoes form in thunderstorm outflow rather than convective heating alone.Funnel cloudCompared with: It rotates near the ground without extending from a thunderstorm cloud.Steam devilCompared with: It shares the weak convective-vortex structure but is made visible by dust rather than droplets.
