Question 4 • [HSSUS] US History, Sem 1 (26-27)

How did droughts and dust storms add to the problems farmers faced in the 1930s? Check all of the boxes that apply.

Answer
A
Droughts deprived crops of the water they needed to grow.
B
Dust storms flooded farmland with so much water that crops would not grow.
C
Dust storms carried away fertile topsoil that crops needed to survive.
D
Dust storms increased crop yields, causing farm prices to decrease.
E
Droughts and dust storms deprived farmers of their primary source of income.

Explanation

Droughts left crops without enough water, so they could wither or fail to grow. Dust storms blew away fertile topsoil, making it harder to grow crops. Because farming was many farmers’ main source of income, crop failures and damaged farmland deprived them of that income. Dust storms did not flood fields or increase crop yields.
