By: Prathik Chakravarthy and Koby Masteller The Dust Bowl By: Prathik Chakravarthy and Koby Masteller

What is the Dust Bowl? There was an area in the United States that had a period of time in which winds and soil combined and created a storm. This storm was a very devastating storm called the “Dust Bowl”.

Where and When Did the Dust Bowl Occur? The Dust Bowl occurred in an area of the United States called the Great Plains. The Dust Bowl occurred in the 1930s and even though dust storms had hit before nothing was as devastating as the current Dust Bowl.

How Was the Dust Bowl Caused? The Dust Bowl was caused by a previous drought that had occurred. The drought had made the ground very dry and loose. After that a wind came and blew the soil, and the loose soil and the wind mixed and created a big storm called the “Dust Bowl.”

Who Did the Dust Bowl Affect? The Dust Bowl affected the farmers, the women, and the children. The Dust Bowl affected farmers because they could not plant crops. It affected the women because they had to cover the windows with wet cloth. It affected the children because they had to go to and come back form school with cloth over their eyes.

How Long Did the Dust Bowl Last? The Dust Bowl’s winds blew very harshly for eight years blowing soil everywhere. In these eight years people had to protect themselves from the storm so that they did not get very sick from the soil blowing around.

How Did the Dust Bowl Affect Farmers? The Dust Bowl probably affected the farmers the most out of everyone. The Dust Bowl caused farmers to loose their businesses because their crops would not grow in the current storm. Many farmers went to California to find work, but the work did not even exist. As a result many farmers lived homeless.

How Were the Strong Winds in the Dust Bowl Created? The winds of the Dust Bowl were created because during the time period, the climate was becoming warmer which caused the number of days which the wind blows west increase. This caused a strong wind that picked up soil and blew it everywhere and created the winds of the Dust Bowl.

Is the Dust Bowl Actually Made of Dust Particles? The Dust Bowl is not actually made of dust particles. It is made from the loose soil from the ground. Grasses prevented severe soil erosion, but the drought of the 1930s caused the soil to loosen up a great deal, and the winds started to build up which gave the name “The Dust Bowl”.

How Did The Dust Bowl Look? The Dust Bowl looked like a giant cloud of dust swirling everywhere and it caused a dark shadow on the ground. In reality the cloud was not made of dust, but it was made of soil. So the cloud was just the wind blowing the soil all over the sky. This procedure made it look like there was a cloud of dust in the sky.

What Were the Result of the Dust Bowl? The result of the Dust Bowl included 7,000 people dead due to dust pneumonia and other death causes. 2.5 million people were left homeless or they had to migrate elsewhere. Overall the Dust Bowl was a very devastating dust storm which caused trouble for many people.
