In the 1930s, the Dust Bowl turned the Great Plains into a desert. This environmental catastrophe was caused by a combination of severe drought and decades of extensive farming without crop rotation, fallow fields, cover crops, or other soil conservation techniques. The lack of vegetation left the soil exposed to strong winds, which swept it into massive dust storms.
