Dust devils

Dust devils, occurring in deserts when the near-surface air heats up more than air further from the ground: warm air rises, cool air sinks and any disturbance from a gust of wind, a vehicle or even a running animal, causes the hotter air to rush up spinning in the descending column of cooler air. Amboseli National Park, Kenya
