The Dust Bowl was caused by people getting rid of the tall grasses that covered Texas´s plains, these grasses had roots deep into the soil that held on to the soil preventing it from flying away in the plains great wind speeds, these grasses´s roots also held onto water and nutrients making the soil very fertile. Another thing that caused the Dust Bowl was it´s hot weather and poor agriculture techniques.
