Poor farming practices.

Further explanation

  • The Dust Bowl natural disaster occurred in the Midwest in the 1930s in North America. The effect lasts for a long period in 27 states and drought afflicts 75% of the country.
  • Dust and drought shake great an enormous portion of U.S. agricultural production. Undoubtedly this natural disaster even worsened the Great Depression that was happening in the US at that time.
  • In addition to factors due to shifting weather patterns that occur over the Atlantic and Pacific oceans, this natural disaster is also caused by poor farming practices because it is unsustainable and poorly planned. That negligence also weakens plants that prevent the soil in place.    
  • Formerly in the Midwest, prairies grass protected the topsoil and was so profitable. But once the farmers finished processing it, they plowed more than 5.2 million hectares of deep-rooted grass.
  • Land wealth just disappeared after years of farming. A strong wind blew the rest of the topsoil, and the drought prevented the plants.
  • When the wind blew, they dissipate a massive cloud of dust. It piled up mounds of land everywhere that covered much of the housing.
  • The Dust Bowl affected the entire Midwest. Dust suffocated livestock and caused pneumonia in children.
  • By 1941, the Dust Bowl gradually receded along with the level of rainfall that had returned to near-normal levels. The Great Depression also ended.

D. The 1930s Dust Bowl in the great plains was caused by the severe dust storms that swept the southern plain region of America and poor agricultural practices by the farming community which in turn resulted in agricultural devastation.

Further Explanation:

During the dry period of 1930s, the high winds and severe dust storms plagued the high plains region from Texas to Nebraska. It was the worst drought that claimed the lives of people and livestock, and severely affected the country’s ecology and economy by destroying about 75% of the agricultural production.

In the early 1920s, the settlers in the prairies plowed the land in the pursuit of incentivizing farming. Over-cultivation resulted in the deterioration of the soil structure, which worsened the drought.

This was all primarily due to the Homestead Act of 1862, which made available to settlers some one hundred and sixty acres of land. The ambit of the Homestead Act was broadened with the introduction of Kink-aid Act of 1904 and the Enlarged Homestead Act of 1909. The acts resulted in major inflow of inexperienced cultivators who came and settled across the Great Plains.

The Dust Bowl was a natural catastrophe that killed the crops, suffocated livestock, and caused pneumonia in children. The intense dust storms deposited mounds of dirt on everything. It worsened the effects of the Great Depression, the worst economic depression.
