Question

explain the dust bowl tragedy?

Answer 1

The Dust Bowl, also known as the Dirty Thirties, was a period of severe dust stormsthat greatly damaged the ecology and agriculture of the American and Canadian prairies during the 1930s; severe drought and a failure to apply dryland farming methods to prevent wind erosion (the Aeolian processes) caused the phenomenon. The drought came in three waves, 1934, 1936, and 1939–1940, but some regions of the high plains experienced drought conditions for as many as eight years.[1] With insufficient understanding of the ecology of the plains, farmers had conducted extensive deep plowing of the virgin topsoil of the Great Plains during the previous decade; this had displaced the native, deep-rooted grasses that normally trapped soil and moisture even during periods of drought and high winds. The rapid mechanization of farm equipment, especially small gasoline tractors, and widespread use of the combine harvestercontributed to farmers' decisions to convert arid grassland (much of which received no more than 10 inches (250 mm) of precipitation per year) to cultivated cropland.

Answer 2

The expansion of wheat agriculture in the Great Plains created other problems. In the 1930s, terrifying dustStorms began to blow over the southern plains. Black blizzards rolled in, very often 7,000 to 8,000 feet high, rising like Monstrous ways of muddy water. They came day after day ,year after year ,through the1930s. As the skies darkened, and the dust swept in, people were blinded and choked. cattle were suffocated to death, their lungs Caked with dust and mud .Sand buried fences, covered fields ,and coated the surfaces of rivers till the fish died. Dead bodies of birds and animals were strewn all over the landscape. Tractors and machines that had ploughed the Earth and harvested the wheat in the 1920s were now clogged with dust, damaged beyond repair .

It was a tragedy which occurred in the 1930s. The extensive use of prairies was responsible for the tragedy. Under this black blizzards became common in the prairies .

It was a period of Severe dust Storms which began to blow over the southern Plains of USA. The basic cause of these dust Storms was the overploughing of Prairies. When wheat cultivation expanded dramatically in the early 19th century zealous farmers recklessly uprooted all vegetation, and tractors turned the soil over ,and broken the sod into dust. Due to all this the whole region became a dust bowl.

Answer : ▶️ The expansion of wheat agriculture and overgrazing of the prairies were responsible for the Dust Bowl tragedy.
▶️In 1930s, terrifying duststorms began to blow over the southern plains.
▶️These duststorms had a great impact on the economic and social life of the people.
▶️The black blizzards were responsible for natural disaster in which people were blinded, cattle were suffocated to death,and machinery was damaged beyond repair.
▶️It was a natural as well as man -made disaster because farmers themselves were responsible for the tragedy.
▶️ The farmers had reckless uprooted all vegetation, and tractors had turned the soil over, beating the sod into dust.
