This led to what is called the Dust Bowl days.
The name given to the drought-stricken farming region of the Midwest during the 1930s was the Dust Bowl.
The process is called desertification.
The Dust Bowl was caused by a combination of poor farming practices, drought, and strong winds. Over-farming and plowing of the land without proper soil conservation methods led to soil erosion, making the land vulnerable to wind erosion during the drought.
DROUGHT - a lack of water, usually caused by insufficient rainfall Example : "The drought caused crop failures, and many farmers moved away."
The process caused by a combination of poor farming practices, overgrazing, and drought that turns productive land in dry climates into deserts is known as desertification. It involves the depletion of vegetation, loss of topsoil, and degradation of land, leading to the transformation of once fertile land into arid, barren deserts.
The recent drought has had dire effects on those who were already barely surviving on subsistence farming.
