Were did the dust bowl happen?

Answer 1

The Dust Bowl mainly took place in Kansas. It also took place in some Canadian areas and it scattered through out the United States. It took place from 1930 to 1936. Some places lasted until 1940.

Answer 2

The Dust Bowl is an expression that refers to the drought in the midwest during the 1930's. The term alludes to the fact that the soil was so dry it was blowing away like dust. It resulted in a mass migration of people to California. In California many of the "Okies" were exploited by greedy farmers who used them as cheap labour. John Steinbeck's novel, The Grapes Of Wrath, is the classic novel about that episode in US history.

Answer 3

The dust bowl happened in the plains. The dust traveled to the eastsouth. Some states effected include: Oklahoma( arguably the most effected, Arkansas, Missouri, Iowa, Nebraska, Kansas, Texas, Colorado and New Mexico.

Answer 4

The Dust Bowl, or the Dirty Thirties, was a period of severe dust storms causing major ecological and agricultural damage to American and Canadian prairie lands from 1930 to 1936 (in some areas until 1940). The phenomenon was caused by severe drought coupled with decades of extensive farming without crop rotation, fallow fields, cover crops or other techniques to prevent erosion. Deep plowing of the virgin topsoil of the Great Plains had displaced the natural deep-rooted grasses that normally kept the soil in place and trapped moisture even during periods of drought and high winds.

During the drought of the 1930s, without natural anchors to keep the soil in place, it dried, turned to dust, and blew away eastward and southward in large dark clouds. At times the clouds blackened the sky reaching all the way to East Coast cities such as New York and Washington, D.C. Much of the soil ended up deposited in the Atlantic Ocean, carried by prevailing winds, which were in part created by the dry and bare soil conditions. These immense dust storms-given names such as "Black Blizzards" and "Black Rollers"-often reduced visibility to a few feet (around a meter). The Dust Bowl affected 100,000,000 acres (400,000 km2), centered on the panhandles of Texas and Oklahoma, and adjacent parts of New Mexico, Colorado, and Kansas.

Millions of acres of farmland became useless, and hundreds of thousands of people were forced to leave their homes; many of these families (often known as "Okies", since so many came from Oklahoma) migrated to California and other states, where they found economic conditions little better during the Great Depression than those they had left. Owning no land, many became migrant workers who traveled from farm to farm to pick fruit and other crops at starvation wages. Author John Steinbeck later wrote The Grapes of Wrath, which won the Pulitzer Prize, and Of Mice and Men, about such people.
