The desert spans just over 9 million square kilometers, from the Atlantic Ocean to the Red Sea , from the Mediterranean Sea to the Niger River valley and the Sudan region ...
Mineral dust is mainly constituted of the oxides (SiO 2, Al 2 O 3, FeO, Fe 2 O 3, CaO, and others) and carbonates (CaCO 3, MgCO 3) that constitute the Earth's crust.The composition of mineral dust, usually named in atmospheric sciences as mineralogy composition, is relevant for different physical and chemical processes in the atmosphere, for example, oxides with iron have an effect in the ...
Saharan dust is “a mass of very dry, dusty air that forms over the Sahara Desert during the late spring, summer, and early fall,” according to the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration.
Sahara dust is frequently emitted into the Mediterranean atmosphere and transported by the winds sometimes as far north as central Europe and Great Britain. [9] Saharan dust storms have increased approximately 10-fold during the half-century since the 1950s, causing topsoil loss in Niger, Chad, northern Nigeria, and Burkina Faso. [10]
