Moving off the plains to find new farmland
Wiki User
∙ 12y ago
The Dust Bowl was primarily caused by a combination of prolonged drought, poor land management practices (such as over-farming and over-grazing), and high winds that carried away loose topsoil. These factors led to the erosion and depletion of soil, creating massive dust storms across the Great Plains region of the United States in the 1930s.

What is a condition that contributed to the disappearance of Topsoil in dust bowl?
The inappropriate farming practices such as overplowing, monoculture farming, and lack of crop rotation during the 1930s dust bowl contributed to the disappearance of topsoil. This left the soil exposed to erosion by wind and water, causing the top layer of nutrient-rich topsoil to be blown away in massive dust storms.
