The 1930’s Dust Bowl | Marks Unexplained World (Ep. 124)

The 1930s Dust Bowl was the result of a period of severe dust storms that greatly damaged the ecology and agriculture of the American and Canadian prairies.

The phenomenon was caused by a combination of natural factors (severe drought) and human-made factors: a failure to apply dryland farming methods to prevent wind erosion, most notably the destruction of the natural topsoil by settlers in the region.

The drought came in three waves: 1934, 1936, and 1939 to 1940, but some regions of the High Plains experienced drought conditions for as long as eight years.
