In December 1988, a team from the University of Rhode Island found that bits of quartz,
50-200 micrometers in diameter, had traveled some 6,000 miles from a dust storm in
China to an area north of Hawaii - a journey that took a week. Particles this large were
always thought too heavy to make such a long trip, but possible explanations say that
violent weather kept them airborne.
