Best Answer

This was caused by long periods of drought combined with decades of extensive farming without crop rotation, leaving fallow fields (plowed but unseeded) and cover crops (crops to cover the fields to prevent erosion).

Farmers plowed their fields heavily and lost the grasses and moisture that kept soil in place during droughts and high winds. The drought lasted 6 years (10 years in some places) causing starvaton and even death.

The storms/drought affected hundreds of thousands of families and during the severe storms of 1934 hundreds of people in Colorado, Texas, Oklahoma and Kansas had died from the heat.

What happens when a liquid is not in a container?

In a gravity free situation, it will eventually stabilize into a sphere if the pressure and temperature conditions are right. In a gravity field the liquid will spread out until it finds the place where it doesn't "run downhill" anymore, if the pressure and temperature conditions are right. However it will stop spreading at a point where the surface tension is greater than the gravity.
