[Dragon Ball] Why do bits of rock float up off the ground in the presence of sufficiently strong ki?

Ki manipulation is the standard means by which warriors across the universe acheive feats far beyond that of Earth's ordinary populace. In addition to providing flight abilities, energy blasts, and greatly enhanced physical attributes, the use of ki has some other notable side effects, all of which seem to exist purely to enhance the spectacle.

Of these effects, one of the most common is spontaneous levitation of rocks and other sedimentary particles, known to some as "chunky updraft." When a sufficiently strong ki user channels their power, bits of debris will start floating up off of the ground in response.

My question is, why is that? What are the physics of chunky updraft, and how do they relate to the use of ki?

I think it's because Ki is energy, and a person emits some of this energy when they channel it. This is (I suspect) the reason that power levels can be measured with a scouter - it "flows" from the persons body to their surroundings. At high enough levels, this energy can move objects and even cause atmospheric effects like lightning.
