dust bowl  

Définition

  • Drought, wind, and a lack of soil to hold vegetation brought dust storms to the southern Great Plains from 1932 until 1940, by which time near normal precipitation had returned to the region. These storms primarily blew over lands where crop failures in wheat, corn, and cotton had left the ground barren of vegetation with roots to hold the soil.
