About 100,000,000 square acres, or 156,250 square miles.
In 1931, it seemed that the rain just stopped one day and would not come back. By the spring of 1934, the long and bitter drought had seriously impacted 27 states and affected more than 75 percent of the country (excluding Hawaii and Alaska, which were not yet states).
The agricultural Plains States, especially the Southern Plains States, were the most affected by the drought. The dryness and the over-cultivation of the soil leaving it with no plant roots to hold the soil down meant that when the winds swept along the flat plains, with no mountains or even tall trees to break the wind's path, the dry, dusty topsoil was swept away in such amounts that the air turned black. It was those areas that were called the Dust Bowl, in Kansas, Colorado, New Mexico, and the Panhandles of Texas and Oklahoma.
That's the equal of about 156,000 square miles, or one-twentieth of the entire area of the 48 continuous states turned into a place so full of so picture a strip of land about 156 miles wide running from the northern border of the US all the way to the southern to
The soil was removed by wind to elsewhere. It was not lost. But it certainly couldn't be used again. a valuable lesson.
No. The Dust Bowl was caused by inappropriate farming practices in combination with a severe drought. It caused a loss of soil.

No too much of one nutrient was taken out of the soil to create a soil disbalance
Dust bowl
Reusing the soil using poor farming techniques, and the major drought were factors in creating the Dust Bowl.
The dust bowl helped people appreciate the value of soil
A long period (years) of drought led to the dust bowl in the 1930s. This left the top soil prone to wind erosion. When winds came, it created dust storms that killed many because you cannot breathe in dust.

The Dust Bowl covered Oklahoma, Texas, Colorado and New Mexico. Farmers lost their fertile soil to the winds, and their farms to the banks.
Dust bowl
The Dust Bowl was the result of a lack of soil conservation measures; so the answer would be: none.

It broke the soil up and all the layers of used soil turned into sust and caused the dust bowl.
