The primary causes of the Dust Bowl were prolonged drought, which dried out the soil, and unsustainable agricultural practices such as over-farming and plowing that removed the natural grass cover. This combination led to massive dust storms and the erosion of topsoil, resulting in devastating environmental and economic consequences.
