Question

A massive drought and heat wave caused the Dust Bowl in Texas, however, the damage was compounded by the lack of prairie grass. Explain why prairie grass was important and how replacing the grass with crops helped cause the dust in the Dust Bowl

Answer 1

Explanation:

The massive dust storms caused farmers to lose their livelihoods and their homes. Deflation from the Depression aggravated the plight of Dust Bowl farmers. Prices for the crops they could grow fell below subsistence levels. In 1932, the federal government sent aid to the drought-affected states.
