Often called the dust bowl, the lack of grass and dry conditions caused large dust storms. The most famous of these dust storms is commonly referred to today as "Black Friday" A massive dust storm swept out of the great plains, and made it all the way to New York City, blotting out the sun for a few hours before moving out into the Atlantic Ocean. Once it hit the ocean, it quickly gained enough moisture (and weight from that moisture) to sink from the air and into the water.
What else can I help you with?
Plowing removed the grass from the Great Plains and exposed the soil. What effect did this have when a drought struck the Great Plains during the 1930s?
The exposed soil left by plowing was more susceptible to being blown away by the strong winds during the drought. This led to severe dust storms and the phenomenon known as the Dust Bowl, exacerbating the impact of the drought on agriculture and ecosystem stability in the region.
When did the Children's Blizzard occur?

Does the lightning strikes in an open area?

What were the main causes of the dust bowl?
Poor farming techniques and drought (apex)
Was the decade of the 1930s called The Dust Bowl?
The Dust Bowl of the 1930s lasted about a decade. The dust bowl winds began in 1932 but the Dust Bowl got its name from the horrendous winds beginning in 1935. The primary area it effected was the southern Plains. The northern Plains were not hit so badly but the drought, the blowing dust, and the decline of agriculture in the region had a nationwide effect. The wind "turned day into night" and was so strong it picked up the topsoil on the ground and blew it away in large clouds of dust. The farmers who worked the Great Plains had been breaking up the sod and soil on the plain states since the time of the Homestead Act. Poor farming techniques and years of depleting the soil led to the soil becoming susceptible to the winds.
What struck Kenya and other countries along the Horn of Africa in 2005?
A drought!!
Is it true that the dust bowl was a terrible tornado that hit Oklahoma with lots of rain?
No. The dust bowl was a period of extreme drought that struck the Great Plains during the 1930s and was worsened by poor farming techniques. Oklahoma was especially hard hit. This period of drought would likely have inhibited tornado formation, but it did result in massive dust storms, often dubbed "black blizzards."
what natural disaster struck Kenya and other countries along the Horn of Africa in 2005?

Site of the dust bowl?
From 1935-1940 the Dust Bowl affected Americans all over the Great Plains. Farmers since the founding of the United States did not practice crop rotation. Which made the dirt dry and unfit for any type of vegetation. During World War I (when grain prices were high), farmers plowed up thousands of acres of natural grassland to plant wheat. On top of this, a drought struck the Great Plains (from 1934-1937). All of these factors came into play when some high winds came in. The Great Plains were no longer grasslands so there were no roots to hold the soil in place. All of the topsoil blew away and all that was left was dry, unhealthy dirt. Thus, the name "Dust Bowl". Many people left the Great Plains and migrated to the city. Unfortunately, at the same time, there was the Great Depression happening and there were no jobs to be found.
