Traveling Desert Sand: What does traveling sand do

The video explores the global movement of sand, originating from deserts like the Sahara, and its significant impact on weather and ecosystems. Sand travels vast distances, affecting climates and providing essential nutrients to regions like the Amazon rainforest. However, it also contributes to desertification, particularly in China, where land is increasingly turning into desert. The video also discusses how sand influences weather phenomena, including hurricanes, with researchers investigating its role in storm development.
