What the fuck?
Looks like a sand avalanche o_000000

 

[Impulse]

That just looked awsome.
A wall of sand just coming at you

Would be kinda cool to see if you had the right equipment and a shelter

I could not load it for some reason so i just saw black

 

[Panki]

I think it's called Haboob or something like that. It even stopped an american rescuing mission.

 

[MiRc34]

^But what the fuck is causing it?
Massive winds I think.

 

[Panki]

Cold air sinks, so I think when air layers cool down and they start to fall rapidly, it will blow up the sand but idk.

 

[MiRc34]

^Ye, that's the definition of wind, isn't it?

 

[Kitty]

^Your kinda a smart ass arent you mircea, Dont worry i still love ya *hugs.
Thanks for the info panki i found it really useful!

 

[Panki]

No, wind creates when 2 air layers with different pressure and temperature collide.

 

[MiRc34]

^I know. I'm an idiot @D

No, wind creates when 2 air layers with different pressure and temperature collide.

Wind is also created when 1 part is heated, which causes the air to rise up (thus causing wind).
The place where the air was before has to be filled up as well (thus causing more wind),
basicly this causes a chain reaction

Thus I'm the scientist here and all the credit goes to me.
