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.
