Question

listen what led to the environmental damage that caused the dust bowl? overplanting throughout the great plains severe winter cold followed by extreme heat heavy rains over consecutive years rotating crops every year and having fallow land

Explanation:

Brief Explanations

The Dust Bowl was a period of severe dust storms that greatly damaged the ecology and agriculture of the US and Canadian prairies during the 1930s. Overplanting throughout the Great Plains led to soil erosion as the natural grasses that held the soil in place were removed for farming. Severe winter cold followed by extreme heat (option 2) was part of the drought conditions but not the main cause of the environmental damage. Heavy rains over consecutive years (option 3) would not cause the Dust Bowl. Rotating crops every year and having fallow land (option 4) is a good agricultural practice that helps soil health and would not lead to the Dust Bowl.

Answer:

overplanting throughout the Great Plains
