The Dust Bowl started in 1931 and ended in 1939. Exact dates are impossible to decide.

According to the US census statistics, America lost 10 million of its population from 1931 to 1940. A Russian researcher, Boris Borisov worked on uncovering the death toll during the American Famine and his estimates are that 5 million children died of starvation and 2.5 million adults. This is equal to all the Jews that died during the WWII Holocaust, so an event equal in magnitude. Boris Borisov describes the movement of the American population out of the Dust Bowl affected region as a Hunger March. President Hoover ordered regular military soldiers to crush all social unrest. A large majority of the population fleeing the Dust Bowl region headed to California. These Americans were met at the boarder by police and state national guard who beat them back into the Mojave and Sonoran Desert. Thirst and starvation was the final outcome. "Bound for Glory", an autobiography of Woody Guthrie records a striking account of these events. Besides blocking the roads into California, freight trains were stopped by police in the most desolated desert regions and the unwanted refugee passengers were rounded up, beaten and removed of any food, water or personal identification. They were left to die in the desert as the train moved on. The Woody Guthrie song "This Train" turns out to be a eulogy to the victims of these events. "This Train" describes how the refugees did nothing to deserve the treatment experienced on the American Death Trains.

From 1935-1940 the Dust Bowl affected Americans all over the Great Plains. Farmers since the founding of the United States did not practice crop rotation. Which made the dirt dry and unfit for any type of vegetation. During World War I (when grain prices were high), farmers plowed up thousands of acres of natural grassland to plant wheat. On top of this, a drought struck the Great Plains (from 1934-1937). All of these factors came into play when some high winds came in. The Great Plains were no longer grasslands so there were no roots to hold the soil in place. All of the topsoil blew away and all that was left was dry, unhealthy dirt. Thus, the name "Dust Bowl". Many people left the Great Plains and migrated to the city. Unfortunately, at the same time, there was the Great Depression happening and there were no jobs to be found.

An accurate answer to this question can not be given. Three million people were affected by the event and data was not kept if the dust bowl disaster was responsible directly for a death.

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.

The Dust Bowl of the 1930s lasted about a decade. The primary area it effected was the southern Plains. The northern Plains were not hit so badly but the drought, the blowing dust, and the decline of agriculture in the region had a nationwide effect. The loss of agricultural production helped to lengthen the Depression, not only in the US but worldwide. The displaced farmers became the migrants described in John Steinbeck's, Grapes of Wrath. Families from Kansas, Oklahoma, Texas, New Mexico, Nevada and Arkansas, packed what they could in cars and trucks and headed west. Most were aiming for California where they would become a class of migrant farmers, following the crops during the harvesting season. Poor farming techniques and years of depleting the soil led to the soil becoming susceptible to the winds. And when the winds came, the soil was picked up and "day became night."

that we need to take care of the land with erosion prevention techniques

500,000 were distroyed during the dust bowl.

Lowering the land.

they went from 40-50mph at the height of the storm

farmers came and settled on the land during a big war withEurope. Europe did not have the time for growing crops so they bought food from the united states. this made farmers rich, most had several mortgages and allot of cattle and crops. when the war was over the farmers of Europe had time to farm again and did not need to buy food from the United States any more so Oklahoma had an economic breakdown farmers kept tillling their land and when they had a drought dust formed and there would be large storms of it across Oklahoma

it affected the Midwest by not leaving any crops to grow, it killed a lot of livestock and left many farmers, or "Okies" as the great plains farmers were called, withought hope. Many decided to migrate to Calfornia and other places in the west in search of new jobs.

The President established the Resettlement Administration and later, the Farm Security Administration to alleviate the plight of the migrants and rural poor, and also to attack the root causes of environmental degradation that brought about the dustbowl conditions. The Civilian Conservation Corps (CCC) and the Soil Erosion Service were established to deal with the environmental issues. In 1935, the Prairie States Forestry Project was created to create a "shelter belt" from the Texas Panhandle to the Canadian border. Trees were planted as windbreaks and new farming techniques initiated by the New Deal stopped the dust storms.

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).

It has come back only once, but not in all of america. Our technology is too powerful for a dstbowl to do any damage to us

The Dust Bowl affected 100,000,000 acres in five US States with the center point being the Oklahoma and Texas Panhandles and the adjoining States of Colorado, Kansas and New Mexico. It was an ecological and economic disaster that did not end until the 1940's. They were termed the "Black Blizzards" by those who lived through them.

Overworking the land without proper irrigation. people planted crops year after year without giving the land a break to regain the natural vitality, basically using up everything the land had before it could heal itself. They also cut down every tree to make buildings and houses and didn't replant them so that there weren't any natural blockers to keep the wind from tearing up the dirt. Until the government brought in scientists to figure out what happened the land was not usable.

Okies comes from Oklahoma, a state where the Dust Bowl took full effect with its onslaught upon the people of Oklahoma. The people who moved from Oklahoma to escape the storms were thus nicknamed Okies.
