What is the dust devil?

The dust devil is a natural phenomenon that occurs primarily in areas that have intense surface heating that produces the role of air near Earth. The ascending storm that lifts dirt, debris and other particles is called the dust devil. There are several factors that contribute to wind size, including soil drought, wind speed and ground temperature. Due to dust and residues, these whirlpools are very visible and can sometimes be dangerous. Many areas such as desert soil are more susceptible to the experience of a dust devil than places with a colder climate. The hot surface of the air progresses up through the colder air and the rotation begins to rotate faster and faster and creates a dust devil. The intake of hot air into the whirlwind causes the rotation speed to increase and the size of the whirlwind. As the speed increases, suction and dust increase, which makes the storm extremely visible.

The size, speed and time interval of the dust devil differ very much. The average diameter can range from 10 feet to 300 feet (3.04 m-91.44 m) and the height usually diameters 400 feet to 1000 feet (121.92 m-304.8 m). Dust time usually does not exceed several minutes, but some extremely hot and dry climate experience larger storms that can take up to an hour. Extreme speeds could reach 60 miles per hour (96.5 km/h), resulting in a height of up to 3,000 feet (914.44 m).

Although most dust whirls are formed in wide open spaces, they can be harmful in multiple populated areas. They are not as intense as tornadoes, but still cause damage to buildings and other structures. Most of the damage is caused by the capacity of the whirlpool to move on the ground, but the dust of the devil collapses as soon as the warm air disperses.

In 1980 the volcano

Mount St. Helens' and the amount of volcanic ash visible hundreds of sand devils. The volcanic ash persisted for the timeThe square of the square tracks for at least a year and the storms could be seen daily. These funnels of similar tornado were also recorded on the Mars planet and are usually referred to as Martian dust devils that have red sands that swirl through. The height of these Martian whirlpools can be extended to two miles (3.2 km) and have diameters that exceed 1,000 feet (304.8 m).
