Dust Bowl
The region that suffered through a decade-long drought in the late 1920s and early 1930s in the United States is commonly known as the Dust Bowl. This environmental disaster, exacerbated by poor farming practices, led to severe dust storms and economic hardship for many farmers in the Great Plains region.
The longest drought on record occurred in the Atacama Desert in Chile, where it lasted for over 400 years. This region is one of the driest places on Earth, receiving less than 1 millimeter of rainfall annually in some areas.
The name given to the drought-stricken farming region of the Midwest during the 1930s was the Dust Bowl.
The main cause of drought in the Sahel region is the variability of rainfall patterns, which are influenced by factors such as climate change, ocean temperatures, and atmospheric circulation patterns. Human activities, such as deforestation and overgrazing, can also contribute to desertification and exacerbate drought conditions in the region.

The last major drought occurred in the western United States, particularly in states like California, Nevada, and Oregon, from around 2011 to 2019. This drought had significant impacts on water resources, agriculture, and ecosystems in the region.

the importance of drought is a period when not enough rain and snow fall. in a semiarid region drought is a constant danger
the plants which grow in the drought region(region where very less water is available0 e.g., cactus, date palm, bryophyllum etc.,
A drought is an extended period of significantly below average precipitation in a region. NO, drought is a shortage of rainfall or dry weather!!!!!!!
At least one region of Australia is always in a period of drought. This region may vary from north to south, east to west, etc, but because of the nature of Australia as the world's second driest continent, there is always a part of Australia in drought.
Droughts can occur in any region around the world, but they are more common in arid and semi-arid climates. Some areas that frequently experience droughts include parts of Africa, Australia, the western United States, and regions around the Mediterranean Sea.
The Americas suffered the most from the Columbian Exchange due to the introduction of new diseases, such as smallpox and measles, which decimated indigenous populations. Additionally, the exchange led to the exploitation and colonization of indigenous peoples by European powers, resulting in widespread death and displacement.
Sahara Desert.
During the Great depression of the 1930's the prairie region in Canada suffered from a severe drought leaving them in clouds of dust that coated the crops making it hard to grow. The prairies were called the Dust Bowl due to this event.
Droughts occur anywhere in Australia. They are less common along the southeast coastal regions, but certainly these areas have been drought-declared. The far northern tropical region rarely experiences drought.
