The main causes of the Dust Bowl in the 1930s were prolonged drought, poor farming practices such as over-tilling and overgrazing, and the destruction of natural grasslands that held soil in place. These factors led to severe dust storms, soil erosion, and agricultural devastation in the Great Plains region of the United States.

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.
