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.

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.
Two major factors that contributed to the Dust Bowl were severe drought conditions and poor agricultural practices. The prolonged lack of rainfall in the 1930s, combined with the over-farming of the land without adequate crop rotation or soil conservation techniques, led to the depletion of topsoil. This resulted in massive dust storms that devastated farmland and displaced thousands of families.
