Anthropogenic global warming dates from the beginning of the industrial age, with average global temperatures rising only slowly at first, but accelerating since the 1970s. In 1930, anthropogenic global warming was barely perceptible and no scientist of the time would have considered the issue.

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.

The dust bowl was a drout and it occurred in the 1990s. a lot of farm crops died and the farmers lost a lot of money and the weather was extreme it went from really hot to bitter cold. and int this time period there was a infestation of grass hoppers that took over and ate everything basically destroyed almost all property.

The Dust Bowl impacted the U.S. 1931 to 1939.

blah it was bad, really bad!!!!!!, really really really really bad. superbad. intense. people hit jack rabbits with clubs. OUCH!!! That was BAD TOO REALLY REALLY REALLY BAD. . but not as bad as the dust bowl itself. but it was still bad.

In a racing type situation, it is referred to as being in the lead. Hence the dust stirred up from behind them is what one would experience in the face or mouth.

dirty Thirtys

bosnians and serbians are cool and funny suuwwoopp

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.

They left for California in hopes of starting a new life.

The greatest effect of the dust bowl years was on small farm families in the south and midwest. The low farm prices and crop failures produced hundreds of thousands of foreclosures. The worst problems were in Oklahoma, Texas and nearby states, but the dust bowl problems affected a huge area.

Their houses became so dusty and they were tired of the dust getting sick with dust nemonia they just moved out

Mainly financial. No work, no crops, no money- so they went looking for work.

The Dust Bowl, also known as the Dirty Thirties, was a period of severe dust storms in the Midwest. It affected 27 states and covered almost 75% of the entire United States.

They would have a hard time seeing in the thick dust, you would breathe in the dust clogging your lungs, and they would have a hard time traveling.

The people had no means to support themselves; they could not plant in the dry dusty soil which eventually blew away. They could not feed themselves or their livestock, pay their mortgages or pay for anything else. Much of their livestock died from lack of food or water and many of the people moved away to find work.

Wildlife had the same problems with the dust when it came to breathing the dust laden air or moving around and they also had as much difficulty finding food and water in the drought and the dust.

Better rangeland practices including better grazing strategies, better grass and land management, stocking rates, and the introduction of federal lands that were strictly owned by the US government, all were primarily the main programs the US government adopted and developed to prevent history from repeating itself.

The dust bowl was caused by drought, over plowing, and poor soil conditions. Although the drought may not have been avoidable, smarter farming techniques such as crop rotation and leaving areas of natural vegetation to hold soil could have prevented much of the soil loss.

I think its because when people started to plow the prairies the soil dried up and when the wind came it would blow the dust everywhere and then you cant grow anything at all except dust bunnies!

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.

They started contour-plowing the land, making terraces which were designed to minimize the amount of soil blowing away. They also planted grasses that were either tame or native to the area and were given a opportunity by the government to let their fields go to grass and never plow them again. Those who did such a thing were given money every year to encourage this practice and help get the prairies back to the way it was before it became plowed under.

A particle of dust

Most of it is dead skin cells in other words dead skin

Between 1931 and 1940 a ton of soil blew out of the central and southern great plains this is why the region is known as the dust bowl.

clearing of grasslands

erosion

overgrazing

No, it is not considered a Dust Bowl state. Though heavy droughts led to the the Dust Bowl, not every state experiencing a drought also experienced severe dust storms. States that are considered to have experienced these severe dust storms are Colorado, Kansas, New Mexico, Oklahoma and Texas. Iowa, however, is listed as a state experiencing a drought during the Dust Bowl era, it is just not classified as having severe dust storms.

To me a dust bowl would be a area of growth that just dried up. A once productive place with plenty of work,families and so forth. Crops do nothing in the dust bowl,no grass for the farm animals nothing for the people to stay for.
