The Dust Bowl was a region of the United States that was hit by drought and poor farming practices during the Great Depression. The Dust Bowl got its name from the huge dust storms that swept through the area during those years.
The Dust Bowl was located in the Great Plains region of the United States, specifically in the states of Colorado, Kansas, New Mexico, Oklahoma, and Texas. It got its name from the huge dust storms that swept through the area during those years.
The drought began in the early 1930s and lasted for about a decade. During this time period, people who lived on farms were forced to abandon their land and move elsewhere because they couldn’t farm anymore due to lack of rainwater. In addition to this problem, many farmers didn’t know how to properly farm their land so they ended up using techniques that were not sustainable over time such as plowing too deep into soil causing erosion over time which led to situations where dust storms would occur more frequently than normal because there wasn’t enough topsoil left behind after plowing too deep into it causing things like bare ground or rocks instead of grasses growing back after being plowed over again which made things worse than.
