The Great Plains began to erode primarily due to a combination of extensive agricultural practices, drought, and poor land management. The introduction of intensive farming techniques, particularly during the Dust Bowl era in the 1930s, stripped the land of its natural vegetation, which held the soil in place. Additionally, prolonged drought conditions exacerbated the situation, leading to significant soil degradation and erosion. This combination of factors resulted in the loss of topsoil and increased vulnerability to wind and water erosion.
