About 100,000,000 square acres, or 156,250 square miles.
In 1931, it seemed that the rain just stopped one day and would not come back. By the spring of 1934, the long and bitter drought had seriously impacted 27 states and affected more than 75 percent of the country (excluding Hawaii and Alaska, which were not yet states).
The agricultural Plains States, especially the Southern Plains States, were the most affected by the drought. The dryness and the over-cultivation of the soil leaving it with no plant roots to hold the soil down meant that when the winds swept along the flat plains, with no mountains or even tall trees to break the wind's path, the dry, dusty topsoil was swept away in such amounts that the air turned black. It was those areas that were called the Dust Bowl, in Kansas, Colorado, New Mexico, and the Panhandles of Texas and Oklahoma.
That's the equal of about 156,000 square miles, or one-twentieth of the entire area of the 48 continuous states turned into a place so full of so picture a strip of land about 156 miles wide running from the northern border of the US all the way to the southern to

∙ 11y agoDuring the Dust Bowl, an estimated 3.5 million acres of farmland lost topsoil due to severe erosion. This significant loss of soil led to the displacement of many farmers and livestock and contributed to the socio-economic impacts of the event.

∙ 12y agoThe soil was removed by wind to elsewhere. It was not lost. But it certainly couldn't be used again. a valuable lesson.

∙ 9y agoNo. The Dust Bowl was caused by inappropriate farming practices in combination with a severe drought. It caused a loss of soil.

The Dust Bowl caused severe environmental damage, including soil erosion, depletion of nutrients in the soil, loss of wildlife habitat, and air pollution from dust storms. This led to agricultural and economic devastation, displaced families, and exacerbated the effects of the Great Depression.
The Dust Bowl was partially a natural disaster caused by severe drought conditions, high winds, and soil erosion. However, the environmental damage was exacerbated by poor farming practices, such as overcultivation and lack of soil conservation measures.
After the Dust Bowl, some of the dust settled on the ground, whereas the rest was blown away by the wind. The soil in the affected areas was greatly damaged and in some places, efforts were made to restore the soil's fertility through conservation practices.

The Dust Bowl covered Oklahoma, Texas, Colorado and New Mexico. Farmers lost their fertile soil to the winds, and their farms to the banks.
When wind blows soil away, it can create erosion. Erosion is the process by which soil and rock particles are dislodged and moved from one place to another by wind, water, or other natural forces. This can lead to loss of fertile soil and land degradation.
The Dust Bowl was the result of a lack of soil conservation measures; so the answer would be: none.
It broke the soil up and all the layers of used soil turned into sust and caused the dust bowl.
