How was life for people moving to California in the dust bowl?

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.

How many deaths were caused by the Dust Bowl?

Due to inaccurate record keeping at the time and that most of the affected regions were sparsely populated/rural it is impossible to know exactly how many people died. Some estimates go as high as 7,000. At least 2.5 million were left homeless or were forced to move by 1940. The long-term side-effects of dust inhalation and related diseases likely caused many more deaths over time.

Why was the point of the dust bowl?

To fully understand the importance of soil to the "dust bowl" one must first understand what the "dust bowl" is/was. The "dust bowl" was the area of rich agricultural lands in the mid western United States which, due to deforestation, severe drought and other factors became barren. As the vegetation succumbed to the drought the soil was exposed to the wind. The wind picked up and blew the topsoil away. Reforestation and wind breaks now serve to mitigate the winds effect on the soil, and better farming practices help to hold the top soil in place. To answer the question, soil is important to any region but is extremely important to the "bread basket" of the United States that was once turned into a "dust bowl".
