It all started in the 1920's ( 1929 to be exact ). This was the time of The Great Depression. This all started because of a drought. A drought caused the soil to be all loose and limp. When the wind blew it away. The whole place was covered in dust. Causing them to have dirty air to breathe.

HOW LIFE WAS LIKE :

The Dust Bowl caused hundreds and hundreds of people to die. They had a limited amount of water and food. It was a very hard process to go through. People had to wear masks so they can breathe clean air. It lasted about 7, 8, or 9 years. Not only did people lose their jobs. They lost their family members. Words to describe all this. Would be unemployment, sadness, depression, hopeless, anger, death, and self mutilation.

SOLUTION :

The people planted trees everywhere. That way, the roots made the soil stay put to the ground. 60% of dust was being gone. At about 1938 ( I'm pretty sure ). People and farmers used plant covers. That way the soil stopped being blown away. And atlast, the Great Depression ( Dust Bowl ), was brought to an end.
