Relationship Between Storms and Land Degradation

  • Chapter
  • First Online:
Aeolian proceses as Dust Storms in the Deserts of Central Asia and Kazakhstan

Part of the book series: Environmental Science and Engineering ((ESE))

Abstract

Almost all major sources of dust and sand storms are located over topographical lows or on lands adjacent to strong topographical highs where fluvial action is evident by the presence of ephemeral rivers and streams, alluvial fans, playas, and saline lakes.
