The main cause of the Dust Bowl in the 1930s was poor soil and land management. Over-farming, grazing, and deforestation led to the loss of the natural grasses and vegetation that held the soil in place, making it vulnerable to wind erosion. This, combined with a prolonged drought, resulted in the severe dust storms that impacted the Great Plains region of the United States during that decade.
