ANSWER:

Replacing natural grasses with crops had the biggest impact on dust storms in 1930.

Step-by-step explanation:

  • Farming had been extensively practiced in 1930s. The farmers ploughed the fields and grew a wide variety of crops that replaced the natural grasses.
  • The natural grasses had the ability to keep the soil fixed and trapped not allowing it to be carried away easily by water or wind.
  • The removal of natural grasses led to the erosion of the top-soil which eventually led to dust storms and massive destruction.
