Answer 1

The huge dust storms in the U.S. Midwest in the 1930s c. were a result of poor farming and grazing techniques.

Step-by-step explanation:

The huge dust storms that took place in the U.S. Midwest in the 1930s c. were the result of poor farming and grazing techniques.

Exacerbating the problem was a massive drought that began in 1931 and lasted for eight terrible years. Dust storms roiled through the Great Plains, creating huge, choking clouds that piled up in doorways and filtered into homes through closed windows.

Even more quickly than it had boomed, the land of agricultural opportunity went bust, due to widespread overproduction and overuse of the land, as well as to the harsh weather conditions that followed, resulting in the creation of the Dust Bowl.
