The main cause of the Dust Bowl in the 1930s was poor soil and land management. This involved extensive plowing of the grasslands for agriculture without proper techniques to maintain soil health, combined with severe drought conditions. These practices led to the depletion of the soil and ultimately resulted in massive dust storms. While climate conditions played a role, the primary factor was the way land was managed.
