Question

A) Why did the Dust Bowl of the 1930s increase migration in the U.S.? (1 point)

Answer 1

The Dust Bowl of the 1930s led to severe dust storms and agricultural failure in the Great Plains, making farming untenable for many families. This environmental disaster exacerbated economic hardships during the Great Depression, prompting thousands of displaced farmers and their families to migrate westward, particularly to California, in search of better living conditions and job opportunities.
