Chapter 22, sec.2, Critical Thinking #4

How did Dust Bowl conditions in the Great Plains affect the entire country?

The Dust Bowl conditions effected the entire country in many ways. Many farmers land and homes were covered in dirt and dust, so they had to leave them behind and thousands of farmers and sharecropers moved to california and Oklahoma in order to get away from the dust. There were deaths from inhaling the dust, the majority of these deaths were babbies and older people. The dust was created from farmers plowing up prairie lands. The dust ended up traveling hundreds of miles and it ended up hitting the East Coast.
