Question

The Dust Bowl represented a disaster in terms of economics, environment, and health. explain

Answer 1

Explanation: The Dust Bowl was a period of severe dust storms that greatly damaged the ecology and agriculture of the American and Canadian prairies during the 1930's severe drought and a failure to apply dry land farming methods to prevent the eolian processes (wind erosion) caused the phenomenon. The Dust Bowl caused farmers to have to conduct extensive deep plowing of the soil on the Great Plains. This caused the displacement of the native grasses that normally trapped soil and moisture g periods of drought and high winds. The Dust Bowl was pretty much like, The natural balance of life and climate in the dust bowl is a delicate one. It is largely created by the region's short grasses, grass-eating animals, and unpredictable wet and dry periods. During the mid 1800's, huge cattle and sheep herds did great damage to the region And What Stopped it was While the dust was greatly reduced thanks to ramped up conservation efforts and sustainable farming practices, the drought was still in full effect in April of 1939. In the fall of 1939, rain finally returned in significant amounts to many areas of the Great Plains, signaling the end of the Dust Bowl.

Answer 2

Prices paid for crops dropped sharply and farmers fell into debt. In 1929 the average annual income for an American family was $750, but for farm families if was only $273. The problems in the agricultural sector had a large impact since 30% of Americans still lived on farms. The Dust Bowl of the 1930s was one of the worst environmental crises to strike twentieth century North America. Severe drought and wind erosion ravaged the Great Plains for a decade.
