Explanation:

Brief Explanations
  1. Black Tuesday refers to October 29, 1929, the day of the stock market crash that helped trigger the Great Depression.
  2. The Dust Bowl was caused by a combination of federal land policies (encouraging over - cultivation), changes in regional weather (drought), and farm economics (over - production and low prices). A decrease in wheat cultivation would not cause the Dust Bowl.
  3. Many of the Okies (people fleeing the Dust Bowl) settled in California in search of work, especially in agriculture.
  4. The main causes of the Great Depression included lack of diversification (over - reliance on certain industries), international trade issues (tariffs and debt), and over - extension of credit. Overspending on government aid programs was not a cause; in fact, Hoover was reluctant to spend on large - scale aid.
  5. Hoover's cooperatives (voluntary business associations), raising taxes (which reduced consumer spending), and the Smoot - Hawley Tariff (which hurt international trade) made the Depression worse. His belief in "Rugged Individualism" (relying on private charity and individual effort rather than government intervention) also contributed.
