What was the dust bowl tregity |
| Answer» \tThe Dust Bowl drought of the 1930s was one of the worst environmental disasters of the Twentieth Century anywhere in the world.\tThree million people left their farms on the Great Plains during the drought and half a million migrated to other states, almost all to the West.\tBut the Dust Bowl drought was not meteorologically extreme by the standards of the Nineteenth and Twentieth Centuries.\tIndeed the 1856-65 drought may have involved a more severe drop in precipitation.\tIt was the combination of drought and poor land use practice that created the environmental disaster. | |
