The conditions created by the Dust Bowl led over two million people to move primarily westward, particularly toward California. Many of these migrants sought better agricultural opportunities and living conditions, fleeing the severe drought and dust storms that devastated the Great Plains during the 1930s. This mass migration was famously documented in works like John Steinbeck's "The Grapes of Wrath."
Correct answer is D. Westward
The conditions created by the Dust Bowl primarily led over two million people to move D) westward. Many displaced families, often referred to as "Okies," migrated from the Great Plains to California in search of better living conditions and job opportunities during the 1930s. This migration was largely driven by severe drought, soil erosion, and economic hardship.
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.
Many people leaving the northern part of the Dust Bowl migrated to California in search of better opportunities, particularly in agriculture. They were referred to as "Okies" and "Arkies" and faced challenges such as discrimination and harsh living conditions in the migrant worker camps.
Due to the Dust Bowl conditions, about 200,000 people had moved to California by 1940.
yes because the people had to move to other places
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
They wanted to get away from the dust bowl and move west towards California in search of work.

People in Kansas moved to northern states in hope to get away from the dust. They also wanted to have a better living after their crops were destroyed by the dust. People in Kansas realized that they made little money farming and tried to get a better job.
Nationwide effects of the Dust Bowl: migrants left effected areas to move elsewhere, decreased grain production.

About 1.9 million people move there because about 2.5 million people move out.
They reacted by hanging sheets over their windows. They decided to move to other areas where duststorms don't occur so much

Well the Dust Bowl force a lot of people who where farmers to move from there house because the drought was not letting them grow the crops the need to pay for there mortgage and they could pay it off. and if the farming can't grow crops the market place cant sell them.
