Dust Bowl

First of all it should be How is dust formed.=Well most dust is dead skin infact about 80 to 90% of dust is dead skin that has fallen off us. The other 20 to 10% is most dried up food and some of it is polution.=

The Dust Bowl affected women especially badly. Since they were caregivers and housekeepers, it fell to them to protect the children. It was nearly impossible to keep anything clean in those years. It was a heavy burden.

it effected everyone to start with, the thing is that the dust bowl affect was the crops prices dropping and since it was happening during the great depression not many (only the wealthy people) could afford anything. Thus if the children could not afford food they starved..

I am over fifty and just found a job. Matching your skills to a job that you are interested in is key. You may need to upgrade your training and skills, but there is work for older people. Also, if your type of industry has changed or if you have not looked for a job in some time, you should seek help from local reemployment agencies. If you have been laid off, they can help you set new goals and may offer training. Most jobs are listed on the Internet so you will find yourself filling out applications online. Networking also works well if you are willing to tell everyone you know that you are looking for a particular type of job. Willingness to accept lower pay may be necessary, but health insurance is a huge benefit these days. Remember to sort out jobs by survival (the job that pays your bills until you find the one you want) and the real kind. Keeping a positive outlook is important, so make sure you stay around people who are positive and not complaining. The USAJOBS website is a good place to start, but your local community may also have joblists online.

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.

Families went through a lot of hardships. But that was a while ago so who cares at least your alive. so take it and run while you can. Birth, twelve or so years of school (if i were a high schooler i would drop out now cause it ain't easy and it ain't gunna help you just go run away have fun do drugs, get drunk, or knocked up. If you get preg just get an abortion, simple as that. our world is getting to over populating anyway and who wants a little kid.) have FUN this is your life do what u wnat with it don't let any1 tell what to do with it.

We don’t help students to cheat. You need to answer this question.

Cattle farming was too expensive, so many farmers moved out to the Plains for crop farming. There they had trouble with high interest in the banks, unfair railroad fees, and overproduction from other farmers.

If you are looking for The dustbowl it is a giant duststorm covering the great plains. It started around '33 with a long drought and unending wind. It blew for ten years taking most of the topsoil with it until the plains looked more like the Sahara than farmland. No plants or animals or rain. The Okies left their foreclosed farms and went to the promised land in California to start a new life.

A dustbowl is sorta like a sand storm but it's shaped like a tornado.

Yes, a dust storm can make you fall. And you gonna fall back in your house.

The dust bowl the occurred in prairie states which included Kansas and Oklahoma. The prairies were covered with prairie plants, mostly grass. This formed a natural sod which was rather deep. The sod kept the soil in place during times of low rainfall. When farmers came to this area they plowed up the sod exposing the soil. For this reason they were called 'sod busters'. In the 30s a large drought occurred. When winds blew, soil was picked up and blew about. More and more soil was picked up and blown about. This time was called the dirty 30s. Sometimes people would get the soil blown in their eyes and never saw again. The dirt was blown as far as Washington DC. Washington finally came up with the Soil Conservation Act. Farming practices were changed to preserve the soil. Teddy Roosevelt was President at this time.

People were homeless, dirty, and without food or water. They needed to go and find a place they could be safe. The dust bowl actually made the great depression last longer. It also made the harvest fail. Also health was affected pretty bad because of starvation.

Huge quantities of dust would whip up off the ground every time the wind came along.

dust would get in the houses because it was so small. it would get in beds and food and clothes and even in the drinking water. It would soak up all the rain so crops could not be grown.

In addition to the above, the dust also got into people's lungs making it hard to breath. Many people started to get sick and even die from what was called "dust pneumonia". The dust was full of static electricity and would short out cars and they would stop running.

it affected the farms and people.

The actual answer is northeast in the united nations text book does not say other places only this one

Grapes of Wrath is Steinbeck's famous novel about the Dust Bowl and the migration to California by an Okie family. It was made into a successful movie.

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."

During early European and American exploration of the Great Plains, the region in which the Dust Bowl occurred was thought unsuitable for European-style agriculture; indeed, the region was known as the Great American Desert. The lack of surface water and timber made the region less attractive than other areas for pioneer settlement and agriculture. However, following the Civil War, settlement in the area increased, encouraged by the Homestead Act and westward expansion. An unusually wet period in the Great Plains led settlers and government to believe that "rain follows the plow" and that the climate of the region had changed permanently. The initial agricultural endeavours were primarily cattle ranching with some cultivation; however, a series of harsh winters beginning in 1886, coupled with overgrazing followed by a short drought in 1890, led to an expansion of land under cultivation. Immigration began again at the beginning of the 20th century. A return of unusually wet weather confirmed the previously held opinion that the "formerly" semi-arid area could support large-scale agriculture. Technological improvements led to increased automation, which allowed for cultivation on an ever greater scale. World War I increased agricultural prices, which also encouraged farmers to drastically increase cultivation. In the Llano Estacado, farmland area doubled between 1900 and 1920, and land under cultivation more than tripled between 1925 and 1930. Finally, farmers used agricultural practices that encouraged erosion.For example, cotton farmers left fields bare over winter months, when winds in the High Plains are highest, and burned their wheat stubble, which deprived the soil of organic matter and increased exposure to erosion. This increased exposure to erosion was revealed when an unusually severe drought struck the Great Plains in 1934. The grass covering the prairie lands for centuries held the soil in place and maintained moisture, but with deep plowing from increased farming, the grass holding the soil was eliminated. The drought conditions caused the topsoil to grow very dry and loose and it was simply carried away by wind which, in turn, kicked up immense dust clouds which further prevented rainfall. It was not until the government promoted soil conservation programs that the area began to become rehabilitated.

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.

They were known derisively as "Okies" as many of them came from Oklahoma.

There were 14 severe dust storms in 1932 and in 1933 there were 38 of them reported. In 1937 there were 134 dust storms. http://factoidz.com/facts-about-the-dust-bowl/ It is impossible to count the number of wind storms that contributed to the Great Dust Bowl of the 1930's. In one day alone in 1935 over 20 major windstorms ripped through the state of Oklahoma and blew what little topsoil there was left so far that the sky of Boston turned blood red. Visibility in Tulsa, the capital, was five feet. The number of storms in 1932, the winds coming down off the Rockies and ripping the already parched southern Great Plains, would surely number in the thousands. From 1930 until 1939 in Northern Texas, Oklahoma, Kansas, Southern Nebraska and Colorado, yearly rainfall was less than 6 inches where it once was 20. Millions of livestock perished and a whole generation of farmers and sharecroppers were uprooted from the land and descended on the West Coast.

Dust traveled as far as Europe and Asia

People did die in the dust bowl. They died from getting to much dust in there lungs. It was a very sad time in history.
