Question

What was the most likely cause of the dust bowl?

a. Intense wind storms from changing weather patterns
b. extreme heat evaporating the small water supply in the region
c. an overpopulation of livestock causing stress on the food system
d. overplowing the land without periods of rest for the soil

I think it's either A or D, but I'm not sure which.

Answer 1

Yes, both are right. What does your text say?

Answer 2

Well, it says that farmers overplowed the soil and destroyed the grass that was there, creating a lot of dust. There was also a drought that occurred during the 1930's (around the same time I think), along with high winds, which caused the massive dust storms.

I'm not sure if the overplowing or the intense wind storms were the cause, although I guess the latter would be an effect...

Answer 3

This site seems to give equal weight to over plowing and the drought and winds.

It seems that your text prefers the over plowing answer.
