The main cause was the fact that the Great Plains, which had been covered with grass, had been plowed up for farmland. When drought struck, the soil dried up and blew away.

Deforestation, bad weather, overuse of the land for agriculture and poor cultivation techniques all contributed to the dust bowl in the U.S.
