8. The Dust Bowl
The Dust bowl is the name people gave the approximately 150,000-square-mile area, that includes the states: mostly Oklahoma, Texas, neighboring sections of Kansas, Colorado, and New Mexico. The bowl had little rainfall, light soil, and high winds. This was a very dangerous combination. Drought struck from 1934 to 1937, the soil lacked the stronger root system of grass as an anchor. Winds easily picked up the loose topsoil and swirled it into dust clouds, called “black blizzards.” These storms choked cattle and pasture lands they drove 60 percent of the population from the region away.
