what was the 1930s dust bowl?

Answer 1

In the naturally dry climate, overcultivation added to the effect of a severe drought in the early 1930s, when heavy winds blew the loose topsoil in “black blizzards” that blocked out the sun and piled dirt in drifts. Many farmers and ranchers left the region for California and elsewhere. The planting of windbreaks and grassland enabled the area to recover by the early 1940s.

Answer 2

What happened is that unscrupulous land developers sold a lot of high planes to people to farm. The land is suitable for grazing but not for farming. The farmers generally did not use good conservation practices. There were droughts. The wind caught the bare soil and it blew away in dust storms.

A combination of conservation practices and changing the high planes from farming to grazing is expected to keep tragedies like this from recurring.

Answer 3

During the 1930s the U.S.A. experienced significant drought. Crops failed to grow in many places. Therefore, there were no plant roots to hold on to the soil, and, when the wind blew, lots of the soil blew away, creating dust clouds.
