Answer:
In the 1930s, a serious drought, combined with excessively intensive farming practices, transformed the U.S. Great Plains into a dust bowl, wreaking economic devastation on farmers and their communities. The fertile topsoil that fed a nation was, quite literally, blowing in the wind.
Explanation:
During the Progressive Era, protections for workers and consumers were strengthened, and women finally achieved the right to vote.
Thermal Convection, ridge push and slab pull are believed to be the
processes that cause plate tectonics to move.
Thermal convection is a process when the core of the Earth’s heat is
transferred to Earth’s surface by mantle.
Ridge push is when the mantle wells upward
due to convection and raises the edge of spreading oceanic plates. Since the
plates are higher at the spreading center, they are forced downhill because of
gravity as a result, the ocean floor is flatten.
Slab pull is the part of tectonic plates’
motion which can be accounted for through its subduction.
