The two major contributors to the Dust Bowl were severe drought conditions and unsustainable agricultural practices. Farmers in the Great Plains had plowed up vast areas of grassland for crops, which removed the natural vegetation that held the soil in place. When prolonged drought struck in the 1930s, the exposed, dry soil became highly susceptible to wind erosion, leading to massive dust storms that devastated the region.
One major factor in the creation of the Dust Bowl was the combination of severe drought conditions and unsustainable farming practices, such as over-plowing and poor soil conservation. These practices led to the erosion of topsoil, which, combined with strong winds, resulted in massive dust storms and the degradation of agricultural land.

The Dust Bowl, or the Dirty Thirties, was a period of severe dust storms causing major ecological and agricultural damage to American and Canadian prairie lands from 1930 to 1936 (in some areas until 1940).
The major environmental crisis of the 1930's was known as The Dust Bowl, or as the Dirty Thirties.
