Main sentence
1. They are often so thick that you cannot
see the sun, and the wind is sometimes
strong enough to move sand dunes.
= The sandstorms are often too thick for
people to see the sun and sometimes the
wind is so strong that it can move sand
dunes.
本句是由and连接的两个并列分句。在前面的分句中，so ... that意为“如此……以至于……”，that引导结果状语从句；在后面的分句中，enough作副词时常放在形容词或副词之后，构成 ... enough to do sth.，意为“足够地……”。
句意: 它们经常如此浑浊以至于人们连太阳都看不见，而且风有时候刮得很大足可以移动沙丘。
2. This is a process that happens when
land becomes desert because of climate
changes and because people cut down
trees and dig up grass.
= Because of climate changes, trees being
cut down and grass being dug up, land
becomes desert and desertification
happens.
本句是一个复合句。主句是This is a process；that happens ...是定语从句，修饰先行词process。定语从句中有两个状语从句，一个是when引导的时间状语从句，另一个是because引导的原因状语从句。时间状语从句中的because of ... 短语以及because引起的从句共同说明土地变成沙漠的原因。
3. The storms sometimes continue all day
and traffic moves very slowly because
the thick dust makes it difficult to see.
本句中含有一个make复合结构：make + it + adj. + to do。在makes it difficult to see 中，it是形式宾语，形容词difficult 作宾语补足语, 不定式短语to see作真正的宾语。常用于这种结构的动词还有：think, find, believe, feel, suppose等；用作真正宾语的可以是动词不定式、动词-ing形式和从句。
如：
We found it difficult to get along with him.
我们发现与他相处很难。
We thought it wrong wasting our time.
我们认为浪费我们的时间是不对的。
He found it strange that no one else had arrived.
他发现奇怪的是没有其他人来。
4. When a sandstorm arrives in the city,
weather experts advise people not to
go out.
advise用作动词，表示“劝告；建议；通知”，常用于以下结构：advise doing sth.；advise sb. (not) to do sth.；advise sb. against (doing) sth.；advise + that从句，从句要采用虚拟语气，即“should + 动词原形”，其中should可以省略。
