It broke the soil up and all the layers of used soil turned into sust and caused the dust bowl.
Professor Worster identifies the primary cause of the Dust Bowl as a combination of natural drought conditions and human agricultural practices. He argues that intensive farming, particularly the plowing of the Great Plains, removed native grasses that held the soil in place, leading to severe erosion. This human-induced environmental degradation, exacerbated by a lack of sustainable land management, created the conditions for the catastrophic dust storms of the 1930s.
The Dust Bowl of the 1930s was caused by poor use of the land by farmers and the lack of agricultural knowledge (mostly which did not exist in the 30s) about protecting the soil. The Dust Bowl happened in areas of the middle section of the US because the native grasses (sod) that held the soil together, had been destroyed by years of plowing the land and planting crops in the same area over and over again. When the major winds hit, there was nothing to hold the top soil on the ground and the winds just picked up the soil and blew it away.
Lowering the land.
The land was unfarmable, preventing them from getting enough food and making a living, and the dust drifts could bury houses and equipment making life difficult.
that we need to take care of the land with erosion prevention techniques
President Worster identifies the primary cause of the Dust Bowl as a combination of severe drought and unsustainable agricultural practices. The extensive plowing of the Great Plains, which stripped the land of its natural grasses, left the soil vulnerable to erosion. This, coupled with a lack of proper land management and agricultural techniques, exacerbated the effects of the drought, leading to the devastating dust storms.
drought, dust storms, and intensive farming
The dust bowl was caused by both people and nature. People cleared away existing vegetation in order to make the land ready to farm, and then when there was a period of reduced rain, the land dried up and got very dusty.
NOT AT ALL. no-till plowing is when you leave it unturned. contour is when you plow it in the shape of the land. "No-till plowing" is an oxymoron, since any form of plowing is a form of tillage.
Overfarming and poor land management practices such as extensive plowing and failure to rotate crops led to the topsoil becoming vulnerable to erosion in the Great Plains in the 1930s. This resulted in severe dust storms known as the Dust Bowl.

Over worked land and drought
The Dust Bowl was caused by a combination of poor farming practices, drought, and strong winds. Over-farming and plowing of the land without proper soil conservation methods led to soil erosion, making the land vulnerable to wind erosion during the drought.
it was affect by dust and cause to move around and you will only see sand and the dust the state in the midwest where people died from dust limeoniplie
plowing or planting land
Contour Plowing is when you plow, like, a garden for example, but instead of plowing in straight lines, you go in curvy lines (you know what I mean, right?) Conservation Plowing, however, is like the normal plowing way. Straight lines, blablabla.
The dust bowl mainly occured becasue of Drought and poor farming conditions.In the 1930's many farmers were plowing too much land. So as it occured no rain had come and everything has seemed to just go dry. - Tyler .H
