Question

Why are sand storms common in desert?

Answer 1

They don't happen in some deserts.  Some, but not all deserts are sandy.  When it gets very windy, there can be sandstorms.  These are due to the presence of wind and sand.

Answer 2

because sand is most abundant in deserts :D

Answer 3

Some deserts covered with a large amount of sand. But not all deserts. It's very windy in deserts so the wind is strong enough to blow lots of sand around.

Answer 4

A dust storm or sandstorm is a meteorological phenomenon common in arid and semi-arid regions and arises when a gust front passes or when the wind force exceeds the threshold value where loose sand and dust are removed from the dry surface. Particles are transported by saltation and suspension, causing soil erosion from one place and deposition in another. The Sahara and drylands around the Arabian peninsula are the main source of airborne dust, with some contributions from Iran, Pakistan and India into the Arabian Sea, and China's storms deposit dust in the Pacific.
