The drought was a big cause for the dust bowl and impacted a lot but another
Main cause as the disappearing of the root system it impacted the dust storm heavily and to
Americans. The disappearing of the root system withouts any of roots there would be a lot of
Dust coming into the air which impacted the environment a lot and was one of the main things
That probably created the storm.Some might say it was not because the roots probably wouldn´t
Impact that much but in reality with no roots no protection over the dirt.
The mechanics of farming also impacted the dust bowl a lot of the mechanics
Was the cause because of what it did for the environment. The tractor impacted it a lot which
Lead to the cutting of the grass which lead to more of the dirt to be free and go around in the air
And the wind caused the big cloud storm.some people may think that it wasn't that
The drought killed the grass which made the soil lack the roots as an anchor, “So the winds easily picked up the loose topsoil and swirled it into dense dust clouds, called black blizzards”(“Dust Bowl”). This dust wasn't just destructive it was also deadly. The dust could kill if people inhaled enough of it. The dust was more deadly to infants and elderly people.
Years ago in the 1930s, tragedy struck in America. Along with the wounding great depression, those in the Southern Plain were hit with a catastrophic dust storm known as the Dust Bowl. From acres of farms being destroyed to people losing their lives, the Dust Bowl was an unfortunate disaster. Some may say “the earth ran amok” (Doc A). The devastating Dust Bowl was ultimately caused by poor weather conditions, new farming technology and the immense removal of grass.
Darkness at noon, plagues of dirt and dust battering you in your home. When you wake up, fine dust cakes everything you own. This was the reality for so many in the Great Plains region of the United States during the Dust Bowl. In the 1930s, the Dust Bowl was extensively immense and overbearing for many. Resulting in a decade of bitter darkness at midday, a surplus of casualties in both livestock and humans, and the destruction of agricultural systems, the Dust Bowl caused extensive damage and hardship in a time of ongoing uncertainty and despair.
The Dust Bowl is an area that was devastated by extreme drought, soil erosion, and economic depression during the 1930’s. The worst of it struck 50 million acres , mainly in Colorado, Kansas, New Mexico, Oklahoma, and Texas. The Dust Bowl did a lot of destruction to farm land and caused a lot of problems for farmers. Some farmers called “suitcase farmers” are people who lived and only visited during harvesting time. About 40 big storms swept through the Dust Bowl in 1935.
The dust bowl also featured black dust storms that formed ominous dark dust and soot clouds. With the wind blowing away the prairie grasses that held the soil down, the eroded ground had no defense to powerful winds. (Seaman) A major reason for the Dust Bowl
Farmers across the great plains longed for rain. Day after day the weather offered on relief for anyone. The Dust Bowl covered three hundred thousand square miles of territory. It banked against houses and farm buildings snow and buried fences. All of the dirt penetrated into the engines of cars and clogged vital parts.
The Dust Bowl stole the lives of many. It impacted thousands of farmers, children, adults, and land. The Dust Bowl was a time of suffering and challenges. The main challenge, was just staying alive. This is how it got its famous name “black blizzard” since it looked like a large black cloud.
The Dust Bowl was a tragic occurrence that lasted nine years throughout the 1930’s. A time when the farming industry was barren and people were poor. A time when millions lost their homes and were forced to move. The Dust Bowl ruined homes, families, and land. This is a time that will never be forgotten.
The dust bowl was considered the “Worst hard time” in american history. The Dust Bowl was a big cloud of dust that took place during the 1930’s in the middle of the Great Depression. The dust bowl was located in the southern great plains as it affected states like Kansas, Texas, New Mexico, and Colorado. The three main causes of the Dust Bowl were drought (Doc E), amount of land being harvest (Doc D), and the death shortgrass prairie (Doc C).
The Dust Bowl took place in the 1930’s, which was also referred to as the “Dirty Thirties” lasted nearly a decade. During this time there were severe dust storms that caused major agriculture devastation primarily in the southern plains. Tens of thousands of families were forced to abandon their homes and farms, and relocated westward.
The Dust Bowl was caused by changes in climate and by changes in the farming industry. The only reason why some of the farmers quit or couldn’t farm anymore was that they lost all of their money in the stock market, so they could not buy any more seeds, water, and anything else they needed to plant crops. Due to the experienced farmers not being able to produce as much, people had to hire inexperienced farmers to try and save the American people from starvation. For example, History.com’s editors explain, “The Dust Bowl intensified the crushing economic impacts of the Great Depression and drove many farming families on a desperate migration in search of work and better living conditions” (History.com Editors 1). As more and more farmers moved out, the inexperienced farmers tried to grow crops but it actually dried the land and created so much dust.
The dust bowl is very serious. “But in the summer of 1931, the rains disappeared. Crops withered and died. There had always been strong winds and dust on the Plains, but now over plowing created conditions for disaster. There was dust everywhere, because the people couldve worried about others than themselves.
Livestock could not breath or find food sources. Thousands of people lost their homes due to the storm. Changes in farming and agriculture in the early 1900s altered the landscape and soil creating the perfect environment for the Dust Bowl and impacted living conditions and economic policy. First, changes in farming and agriculture over the years led to the conditions that caused the Dust Bowl and impacted the Great Plains. “Wind and drought alone did not create the Dust Bowl.
The Dust Bowl occurred in the 1930’s to 1940. The worst day of the Dust Bowl was on April 14th, 1935. Due to the Endangered Species Act being broken a ton of smelts (fish) were dying, so connection to the water got cut off and the drought began. Since the smelt were dying people were leaving, going miles and miles away for water and work. It was so hot that trees were dying.
The Boom Years (also known as the roaring twenties) were a prosperous time for all Americans .This same prosperity led to the collapse of the Wall Street stock market, which started the great depression. There are many causes to the Wall Street crash of 1929 in Russia. This includes an overproduction of goods, bank failures, deflation, a credit boom in the 1920s, the very famous buying on the margin and other causes. October 24 which is known now as Black Thursday was the day where Americans had rushed to sell their shares; 13 million shares were sold and on Black Tuesday 16 million shares were sold and people were selling them at an even lower price than before. This marked Wall Street's crash and the causes were very evident
