The 27 pages that link to Dust storm, each with the reason it gives.

• Soil erosionBroader topic: Wind erosion can produce dust storms that affect air quality and health.

• Endorheic basinRelated: Exposed lake beds in drying endorheic basins can become sources of windblown dust.

• Aral SeaRelated: Winds carry salt and agricultural chemicals from the exposed seabed into surrounding areas.

• OvergrazingRelated: Degraded, sparsely covered grazing land can supply loose soil for wind-driven dust.

• Aeolian processesRelated: Dust storms are a visible, episodic expression of sediment entrainment.

• Land degradationRelated: Exposed, erodible land can supply dust that harms health and disrupts communities.

• Gobi DesertBroader topic: Strong winds can carry Gobi dust far beyond the desert.

• Loess PlateauRelated: Exposed, dry loess can become airborne during strong winds.

• Wind erosionBroader topic: Dust storms reveal wind erosion at a regional scale and create health and transport hazards.

• Sand duneRelated: Strong winds that reshape dunes can also entrain finer particles into storms.

• Taklamakan DesertRelated: Strong winds can raise Taklamakan dust and transport it far beyond the basin.

• Desert warfareRelated: Dust can sharply reduce visibility and impair movement, equipment, and aircraft operations.

• Lake UrmiaRelated: Winds can carry particles from dry lakebed toward settlements and farmland.

• SmogCompared with: Dust storms can create severe haze but are not necessarily caused by emissions or chemical pollution.

• AridificationBroader topic: Drying and vegetation loss can expose soils to wind erosion and dust storms.

• SistanNarrower topic: Drying wetlands around Sistan expose sediment that can fuel severe dust storms.

• AhvazRelated: Dust storms are a recurring hazard in Ahvaz and the surrounding arid region.

• Etosha PanRelated: Exposed pan sediments can contribute dust to regional atmospheric events.

• Salt flatRelated: Wind can carry fine salts and sediments from exposed, dry flat surfaces.

• South Aral SeaRelated: Exposed southern seabed supplies salt- and pollutant-laden dust to the region.

• Deserts and xeric shrublandsRelated: Sparse cover and exposed soils can make dryland landscapes major dust sources.

• DrylandsRelated: Dry soils and sparse vegetation can leave surfaces vulnerable to wind erosion.

• Nubian DesertRelated: Loose sediment can be mobilized during strong winds over the desert.

• Climate change in the Middle East and North AfricaRelated: Drought and land degradation can increase conditions favorable to dust emissions.

• Dry lakeRelated: Exposed, fine-grained lake sediments can become sources of airborne dust.

• Great Salt DesertRelated: Dry lakebeds and exposed sediments can contribute dust to regional storms.

• Turan DepressionRelated: Exposed dry lakebeds and desert surfaces can supply dust to regional storms.
