Grassland Wow Fact!
Did you know that in 1930 a Dust Bowl destroyed
hundreds of farms and lasted until 1939? A Dust
Bowl is a gust of wind that swoops up houses,
trees, and lots of dirt. The Dust Bowl is similar
to a tornado. The Dust Bowl started from a
drought. Due to the drought the soil dried out
and turned to dust. The dust blew away and formed
dark clouds. This left 500,000 Americans
homeless. The Dust Bowl is also known as the The
Dirty Thirties. The Dust Bowl happened during
The Great Depression and caused the depression
to linger.
