Essential Question 1: How the dust bowl is related to the Great Depression
The Dust Bowl was one of the great causes of the Great Depression. When bank loans went bad, credit dried up, and banks closed across the country and the Dust Bowl started. Their were barely any crops to eat, let alone buy, because people all across the country lost their job to the Great Depression. The dust storm helped ruin crops and the economy ("Great Depression, what happened and how it compares with today").
