Where do droughts occur in the United States?
A. The Great Plains is the area of our country most at risk for droughts. This includes parts of ten states—Montana, North Dakota, South Dakota, Nebraska, Wyoming, Colorado, Kansas, New Mexico, Oklahoma, and Texas. This area is normally fertile farmland and ranch land, but the region is visited regularly by drought. Drought in other parts of the world frequently leads to famine, as crops are damaged and food supplies suffer.
