what was one factor that helped turn the great plains into the dust bowl in the 1930s?
paying farmers to plant native grasses
numerous tornadoes occurring in the region
intense drought in the region
increased demand for tobacco after world war i

Explanation:

For the first question:

• During the 1930s, the US faced the Great Depression, an extended economic downturn. The New Deal increased federal, not state, power. Isolationist (not interventionist) foreign policy was more common. The Civil Rights movement was more prominent later.

For the second question:

• Intense drought in the Great Plains, combined with poor farming practices, led to the Dust Bowl. Paying farmers for native grasses was a solution, not a cause. Tornadoes were not the main factor. Demand for tobacco was not relevant.

Answer:

1. an extended period of economic depression
2. Intense drought in the region
