沙尘暴指的是发生在沙地、通常在沙漠里的高强度的风,那里的风速能 够卷起地表的上层的沙土并把它推向每一个可想象的方向。卷在沙尘暴 中的沙粒能被卷到大约10~50英尺(3.05~15.24米)的高度。通常,沙尘暴 的高度与风的强度相关。在5,000英尺的高空(1,524米)已经发现了一些 沙尘暴带来的尘埃颗粒,尽管很少见。 在沙尘暴中穿行是非常危险的,因为你的视线严重受阻。而且,沙尘还能 进入你的鼻腔,眼睛,口腔和肺中。如果你遇到沙尘暴,戴上保护眼睛的护 目镜以及戴上围巾保护鼻腔和口腔都是不错的选择。 曾经在沙土中玩过或走过的人都知道沙土是很容易进入衣服、鞋子和 头发中的。沙尘暴发生时,沙土也能进入设备中,使得它不能工作。当沙尘 暴来临时,如果你正在开车,建议你把车停到路边,因为能见度不够不能继 续开车。不仅如此,车还可能在沙尘暴中抛锚,导致你被困在路上,而其他 开车的人可能因为看不见你的车而发生一起可怕的事故。

It is very dangerous to travel through a sandstorm,since your ability to see ahead can be severely obstructed3.Besides,sand can get into the nose,eyes,mouth and lungs.If you happen to be caught in a sandstorm,protective eyewear like goggles,and wearing a scarf over the nose and mouth are good choices. Anyone who’s ever played or walked on sand can know how easily sand slips into clothing,shoes,and hair.In a sandstorm,sand can get into machinery,causing it to fail.If you’re driving when a storm approaches,it’s suggested that you pull off the road,since you may not have enough visibility4 to continue driving.This is also important since vehicles can fail in sandstorms and you could end up stuck on the road.Anyone else driving might not be able to see your vehicle,creating a terrible accident.
