Is it true that the dust bowl was a terrible tornado that hit Oklahoma with lots of rain?
No. The dust bowl was a period of extreme drought that struck the Great Plains during the 1930s and was worsened by poor farming techniques. Oklahoma was especially hard hit. This period of drought would likely have inhibited tornado formation, but it did result in massive dust storms, often dubbed "black blizzards."

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".

The soil was poor and repeated farming operations turned it into worthless dust. The bowl was just another name for that particular region which experienced this.
To make a dustpan, you can cut a rectangular piece of flexible material such as plastic or metal for the pan part, and attach a long handle to it for convenience. You can shape the pan as desired and reinforce it for durability. Add a rubber edge to help collect dust efficiently.
How did Americans actions in the 1920's contribute to both black Tuesday and the dust bowl?
the dust bowl and black Tuesday was actually caused by man because there was a drought and people kept plowing fields so mabey crops can grow but the plant that held the soil together was dug up when plowing so all the soil,sand, and other materials blew away. I hope this helps :)

Anything helped but nothing worked, the dustbowl was misery and felt like the end of the earth for the people that lived through it
