probably new ones are created every month (week? day?...).

Every century - perhaps even less frequently.
The winds may be fast on mars - but the atmosphere is so very thing it has little force.
Is it possible to make a comparison between Earth and Mars wind?
I mean: a 200 Km/h wind on Earth would easily take me away...
How fast should a Martian wind blow to take me away?
Maybe we (you...) should express in better measure units: I suppose you can use pressure units, or others: "On Earth, a 100 Km/h wind would push a 1 m^2 area with 1 Newton force", or "would put a 1 Kg object a 1 g acceleration", or similar...
