Wind - is caused by a difference in air-pressure between two regions. Wind always blows towards a region of low-pressure. In deserts, the hot sand causes the air above it to heat up - and rise. This creates a low-pressure area - causing wind - as the air around the area tries to 'level out'.

Sand and dust storms are prominent at times in the deserts as the surface is so dry and there are few plants to anchor the soil.
