The long drought conditions were just one of the causes for the Dust Bowl- overuse of the land and falling farm product prices also contributed to this disaster.
Drought, and infertile land
The Dust Bowl was primarily caused by a combination of natural drought conditions and poor farming practices, rather than actions of Congress. However, government policies and lack of regulation contributed to the severity of the disaster.
The inappropriate farming practices such as overplowing, monoculture farming, and lack of crop rotation during the 1930s dust bowl contributed to the disappearance of topsoil. This left the soil exposed to erosion by wind and water, causing the top layer of nutrient-rich topsoil to be blown away in massive dust storms.
No the dust bowl was not shaped like a bowl
The colored dust that contributed to the Dust Bowl was primarily from the state of Kansas, where severe drought and unsustainable farming practices led to massive soil erosion. This dust, known as "black blizzards," was carried by strong winds and spread across the Great Plains region.

Because the dust bowl is the SOURCE of the dust raised by a dust storm.
El Niño did not directly cause the Dust Bowl, but it may have exacerbated the conditions that led to it. El Niño can influence precipitation patterns, potentially leading to periods of drought, which coupled with poor land management practices at the time, could have contributed to the severity of the Dust Bowl.
