dust devil

Perseverance has seen a number of dust devils and windstorms sweep through Jezero crater as a beautiful reminder of how environments are always changing, even on a dried-up planet like Mars.

Far across the mesa a dust devil spun up and writhed away toward the distant hills.

Then he wheeled like a sudden dust-devil and decamped in a cloud of dust, followed at full pelt by his clattering escort.

Perchance, for no mere erratic “dust-devil” is yonder cloud.

Your enemy comes upon you like a dust-devil—he appears, strikes, wins or loses, and then disappears again as suddenly as he came.

That's a 'dust devil,' and there's a half dozen more whirling in our direction.
