Yes, a dust storm can make you fall. And you gonna fall back in your house.

The main events that led to the Dust Bowl were severe drought, prolonged farming practices that depleted the topsoil, and strong winds that caused the soil to erode. These factors combined to create the perfect conditions for massive dust storms that devastated the agricultural regions of the Great Plains in the 1930s.

Soil erosion.

Overworked land and drought

Same as de_dust, only it on a dock with concrete instead of dust and you can go to a bit of additional places.

People were homeless, dirty, and without food or water. They needed to go and find a place they could be safe. The dust bowl actually made the great depression last longer. It also made the harvest fail. Also health was affected pretty bad because of starvation.

Huge quantities of dust would whip up off the ground every time the wind came along.

dust would get in the houses because it was so small. it would get in beds and food and clothes and even in the drinking water. It would soak up all the rain so crops could not be grown.

In addition to the above, the dust also got into people's lungs making it hard to breath. Many people started to get sick and even die from what was called "dust pneumonia". The dust was full of static electricity and would short out cars and they would stop running.

it affected the farms and people.

The actual answer is northeast in the united nations text book does not say other places only this one

Grapes of Wrath is Steinbeck's famous novel about the Dust Bowl and the migration to California by an Okie family. It was made into a successful movie.

The Dust Bowl of the 1930s lasted about a decade. The primary area it effected was the southern Plains. The northern Plains were not hit so badly but the drought, the blowing dust, and the decline of agriculture in the region had a nationwide effect. The loss of agricultural production helped to lengthen the Depression, not only in the US but worldwide. The displaced farmers became the migrants described in John Steinbeck's, Grapes of Wrath. Families from Kansas, Oklahoma, Texas, New Mexico, Nevada and Arkansas, packed what they could in cars and trucks and headed west. Most were aiming for California where they would become a class of migrant farmers, following the crops during the harvesting season. Poor farming techniques and years of depleting the soil led to the soil becoming susceptible to the winds. And when the winds came, the soil was picked up and "day became night."

During early European and American exploration of the Great Plains, the region in which the Dust Bowl occurred was thought unsuitable for European-style agriculture; indeed, the region was known as the Great American Desert. The lack of surface water and timber made the region less attractive than other areas for pioneer settlement and agriculture. However, following the Civil War, settlement in the area increased, encouraged by the Homestead Act and westward expansion. An unusually wet period in the Great Plains led settlers and government to believe that "rain follows the plow" and that the climate of the region had changed permanently. The initial agricultural endeavours were primarily cattle ranching with some cultivation; however, a series of harsh winters beginning in 1886, coupled with overgrazing followed by a short drought in 1890, led to an expansion of land under cultivation. Immigration began again at the beginning of the 20th century. A return of unusually wet weather confirmed the previously held opinion that the "formerly" semi-arid area could support large-scale agriculture. Technological improvements led to increased automation, which allowed for cultivation on an ever greater scale. World War I increased agricultural prices, which also encouraged farmers to drastically increase cultivation. In the Llano Estacado, farmland area doubled between 1900 and 1920, and land under cultivation more than tripled between 1925 and 1930. Finally, farmers used agricultural practices that encouraged erosion.For example, cotton farmers left fields bare over winter months, when winds in the High Plains are highest, and burned their wheat stubble, which deprived the soil of organic matter and increased exposure to erosion. This increased exposure to erosion was revealed when an unusually severe drought struck the Great Plains in 1934. The grass covering the prairie lands for centuries held the soil in place and maintained moisture, but with deep plowing from increased farming, the grass holding the soil was eliminated. The drought conditions caused the topsoil to grow very dry and loose and it was simply carried away by wind which, in turn, kicked up immense dust clouds which further prevented rainfall. It was not until the government promoted soil conservation programs that the area began to become rehabilitated.

They were known derisively as "Okies" as many of them came from Oklahoma.

There were 14 severe dust storms in 1932 and in 1933 there were 38 of them reported. In 1937 there were 134 dust storms. http://factoidz.com/facts-about-the-dust-bowl/ It is impossible to count the number of wind storms that contributed to the Great Dust Bowl of the 1930's. In one day alone in 1935 over 20 major windstorms ripped through the state of Oklahoma and blew what little topsoil there was left so far that the sky of Boston turned blood red. Visibility in Tulsa, the capital, was five feet. The number of storms in 1932, the winds coming down off the Rockies and ripping the already parched southern Great Plains, would surely number in the thousands. From 1930 until 1939 in Northern Texas, Oklahoma, Kansas, Southern Nebraska and Colorado, yearly rainfall was less than 6 inches where it once was 20. Millions of livestock perished and a whole generation of farmers and sharecroppers were uprooted from the land and descended on the West Coast.

Dust traveled as far as Europe and Asia

People did die in the dust bowl. They died from getting to much dust in there lungs. It was a very sad time in history.

The term was intended to be pretty descriptive.

The primary area it effected was the southern Plains. The northern Plains were not hit so badly but the drought, the blowing dust, and the decline of agriculture in the region had a nationwide effect. The wind "turned day into night" and was so strong it picked up the topsoil on the ground and blew it away in large clouds of dust. The farmers who worked the Great Plains had been breaking up the sod and soil on the plain states since the time of the Homestead Act. Poor farming techniques and years of depleting the soil led to the soil becoming susceptible to the winds.

The loss of agricultural production helped to lengthen the Depression, not only in the US but worldwide.

There are a couple reasons I can think of for migration during the Great Depression. The first reason is for jobs as unemployment was HUGE. People would migrate across the country looking for work. Farming in particular had been suffering since the end of WWl (the need for crops slowed down following the war so then they were overproducing) and it was no longer profitable to be a farmer by the Great Depression. So, many of them just left. Their farms became worthless, so they'd move to cities searching for work. Another reason would be a result of the Dust Bowl itself. It's hard to imagine what the Dust Bowl was like, but literally tons of topsoil were uplifted by the wind and dust storms ravaged the Great Plains and even reached as far away as New York City. It was incredible---a nine-year period that destroyed farmlands, blackened skies and left millions homeless. Dust storms caused health problems (from breathing all that dirt in) and just made it hard to live in general, so that contributed to people moving out of that region of America.

The farmers planted too many crops in support of the war effort, and the soil dried up. So when the winds came, all the dry soil flew into the air and everyone who wasn't in a house or somewhere away from the wind, they probably would have gotten smothered.

They used intensive farming practices that removed protective grasses.

Oklahoma, Kansas, Texas, New Mexico, Colorado. It really caused a large drought and destroyed the plains.
