Causes of the Dust Bowl The Great Depression caused many hardships for Texans. The depression, however, was not the only crisis to strike the state. In the 1930s, a series of great dust storms tore through the southern plains. These storms blew away the topsoil, filled the skies with dust, and made breathing difficult. Some storms were “sand blows,” in which high winds blew sandier topsoil into drifts along fences, walls, and buildings. Other storms were “black blizzards,” sudden and violent storms filling the sky with a wall of dirt up to 7,000–8,000 feet high. This series of dust storms created an environmental disaster and a geographic region known as the Dust Bowl.

Causes of the Dust Bowl Analyze Maps What geographic factors likely made the Dust Bowl so widespread?

Causes of the Dust Bowl Drought and high winds along with the dry climate of northwestern Texas caused heavy soil erosion on farms like this one in Dallam County.

Causes of the Dust Bowl Analyze Visuals Based on the information in the graphic organizer, which of the causes of the Dust Bowl were created by humans and which were the result of environmental causes?

Impact of the Dust Bowl Many of the dust storms were mild “sand blows.” These left dunes of sandy dirt in ditches and along fencerows. The worst storms, called “black blizzards,” were much larger and could reduce visibility to zero. Anyone caught in one of these large dust storms was in for a frightful experience. A single storm could last for more than three days. Sometimes thunder and lightning came with the storms. Other times the only sound was the blowing wind as dirt swirled in every direction.
