FranThe huge sandstorms located in West Africa are known as the Harmattan. These sandstorms are dry and dusty winds that blow from the Sahara Desert southwards across the region, bringing haze, reduced visibility, and sometimes health issues due to the fine dust particles in the air.

What is at the North pole?
The Arctic Ocean is located at the North Pole. Also a huge ice sheet.
What is the latitude and longitude of South Africa?
South Africa occupies the range of latitudes of roughly 22.12° to 34.83° South, and the range of longitudes of roughly 16.46° to 32.89° East. Any point whose latitude and longitude are within those ranges is a point in South Africa, or nearby offshore. For example, the south end of Runway-01 at Capetown International Airport is located at 33.9874° south latitude 18.6088° east longitude.
Africa is 8 degrees north latitude and 39 degrees east longitude?
That location is in the eastern part of Africa, close to the equator. It could be somewhere in countries like Kenya, Somalia, or Ethiopia, depending on the exact coordinates.
What state is located at 46 degrees north latitude and 69 degrees west longitude?
Since a set of latitude/longitude coordinates defines a single point on the Earth's surface ... with no length, width, or area ... it's not possible for an entire state to be right there. That point is in the Baxter State Park in the state of Maine. There are a huge number of other points, all with different latitudes and longitudes, that are also in the state of Maine.
Where had a sandstorm happened?
Sandstorms can happen in desert regions around the world, such as the Sahara Desert in Africa, the Arabian Desert in the Middle East, the Gobi Desert in China, and the Sonoran Desert in North America. These storms can also occur in coastal regions with sandy terrain, like in parts of Australia and the southwestern United States.
