The main cause of the Dust Bowl in the 1930s was poor soil management practices such as over-plowing, over-grazing, and other farming practices that led to the depletion of soil nutrients and moisture. This, along with drought conditions and economic depression, caused the topsoil to become dry and loose, leading to massive dust storms that devastated the agricultural regions of the Great Plains in North America.
