How did the dust bowl happend?
The last Dust Bowl happened due to a long period without rain causing drought. Another reason was due to the fact that farmers were not cultivating and digging in deep into the soil. Instead, when planting, they would just continuously use the top layer of soil, causing it to lose its nutrients and became very dry. Another reason is because farmers had plowed area for their gardens, killing the grasses that kept in the moisture in the soil. These all led up to the soil becoming very dry and over used, therefore, was kicked up into the air to cause a Dust Bowl.
