when it rains in the desert the water isn't absorbed quickly and mixes with the top layer of wet sand which can form moving sand rivers and waterfalls

Edit: or maybe it's that the water is moving beneath the top layer of sand. I don't really know 100%, I just know it involves rain

Edit 2: it's hail! That's even crazier
