Mistreatment of Land, Natural Disaster, and Drought Created the Dust Bowl in America

After discovering the beauty and richness of the land many American families quickly moved to that area and decided to build a house and farm there. Initially the life in the Great Plains was fantastic. The farmers had a perfect farmland. But the land has not stayed perfect for a long time. The new soil is not used to the way these Americans handle the soil, and as a result the new soil starts to lack nutrients. Since the land in the 1930s was very cultivated, the land and the soil were highly eroded, so it became useless for farmers. Sandstorms only rob the soil, of course, sandstorms will not help anyhow.

The dust storm in the 1930s was one of the world's most serious environmental hazards in the 20th century. During the drought, 3 million people left the farm to the Great Plains, 500,000 people emigrated to other states, most of whom emigrated to the west. However, according to the standards of the 19th and 20th century, the drought of the sandstorm is not extreme. In fact, the drought of 1856-65 may lead to a decrease in precipitation. A combination of drought and poor land use causes environmental hazards

These first cut model experiments show that sandstorms are the result of complex interactions between humans and the environment. The first change in tropical sea surface temperature caused drought. When land use is inappropriate, soil is exposed, followed by wind erosion and sand storm. The sandstorm interacts with the radiation, causing the drought to intensify and move it to the north to increase the possibility of further wind erosion. In other words, drought will occur even if there is no human role, human impact will be limited. However, since the actual dust loss in the 1930s was very limited, so far, we have overlooked the potential impact of climate and hydrology on vegetation loss due to surface radiation and water balance. Therefore, the role of humans in changing the drought of sandstorms is still the subject of interesting research.

Most of what we call natural disasters (tornadoes, droughts, hurricanes) is actually natural, but human contribution may increase its potential and strength. But they are not disasters - it is dangerous. Even if a hurricane hits a land where no one lives, it is not a disaster but the weather. A disaster is a natural disaster that matches the population. Usually this intersection is far from natural. If Houston's community is found to be most vulnerable to hurricane Harvey, most damage is not only predictable but also predicted. In 2016, ProPublica announced a detailed article explaining that lack of plans could make urban residents very vulnerable to hurricanes. The city permitted the entire block to emerge in areas where the Army Corps of Engineers knew that it would flood during the heavy rain. The 1996 report urged Harris County with Houston to take measures to mitigate the risk. It will be ignored. Harvey is a strong weather phenomenon.
