c. 1930 AD–c. 1940 AD
Dust Bowl in the Great Plains
Climate & environment · Sequía · Erosión del suelo · Uso del suelo
During the 1930s, severe drought and dust storms affected the Great Plains of the United States and Canada. Public sources point to an interaction among drought, erosion, and poorly adapted land-use practices, not a single cause; the episode damaged soils, crops, and livelihoods, but its intensity and experience varied within the region.
