1.) Describe the Dust Bowl; what caused it?
- it was a severe drought that caused a dust wind storm that picked up lots of dust and sand it blew it all over the middle of the U.S. The reason this happened was because the farmes over used the lands that held the dirt down, in other words they got to greety.
