USA HISTORY

Detailed explanation-1: -The Dust Bowl was the name given to the drought-stricken southern plains region of the United States, which suffered severe dust storms during a drought in the 1930s. As high winds and choking dust swept the region from Texas to Nebraska, people and livestock were killed and crops failed across the entire region.

Detailed explanation-2: -The Northern Great Plains comprises five states: Montana, Nebraska, North Dakota, South Dakota, and Wyoming. Although it is home to only about five million people, the region is an integral part of the nation’s food supply, with vast tracts of land devoted to dryland and irrigated crops and livestock grazing.

Detailed explanation-3: -The Great Plains is the grasslands of the central United States, but precise delineation of this region has evaded agreement due to the transition between Great Plains grasslands and forests of the eastern United States.

Detailed explanation-4: -The Great Plains have a continental climate. Much of the plains experience cold winters and warm summers, with low precipitation and humidity, much wind, and sudden changes in temperature. More rainfall occurs in summer than in winter, except in some of the northwestern parts of the Great Plains.
