As the temperatures on the planet begin to rise, serious alterations to normal weather patterns occur. As the temperatures rise, droughts become more common. Droughts have begun to occur in areas that normally do not experience these conditions. As the ground becomes severely dry from lack of rain, the dirt and dust loosen. As winds begin to blow, the severely dry dirt and dust from the ground begins to blow throughout the air, resulting in intense sand and dust storms.
These sand storms have affected numerous areas of the planet and are causing serious problems. The thick blankets of dirt that consumes the air, not only cause health problems for people, but can ruin crops as well. The severe dust storms can cause people to have breathing problems and contract infections. Valley fever is a huge health concern for people that live in the areas affected by these storms.
Crops are affected by these storms as well. The strong winds that cause the dust storms can ruin crops. The thick blanket of dirt that consumes the air can smother out crops, causing the crops to be damaged.
