Dust storms like the one in Figure above are more common in dry climates. The soil is dried out and dusty. Plants may be few and far between. Dry, bare soil is more easily blown away by the wind than wetter soil or soil held in place by plant roots.
How the Wind Moves Particles
Like flowing water, wind picks up and transports particles. Wind carries particles of different sizes in the same ways that water carries them. You can see this in Figure below.
Tiny particles, such as clay and silt, move by suspension. They hang in the air, sometimes for days. They may be carried great distances and rise high above the ground.
Larger particles, such as sand, move by saltation. The wind blows them in short hops. They stay close to the ground.
Particles larger than sand move by traction. The wind rolls or pushes them over the surface. They stay on the ground.

Explanation:
Wind can erode rocks by very soft results in the formation of mushroom or pedestal rock. The process is called “weathering” where water, wind, and sunlight break rocks to form soil over a long period.
