Modern large-scale dust storm events provide an excellent analogy for understanding the global dispersion and repopulation of floras and insects in a post-Flood world. Through recent studies of dust storm outbreaks in western China and the sub-Saharan African continent, scientists have discovered that considerable amounts of soil and organic materials can be transported across vast regions in short periods of time. Some of the latest studies addressing massive dust storm events and their impact on the Western Hemisphere have come from the African continent.
