Answer: Static electricity.

The Dust Bowl was a period of severe drought and dust storms that damaged the ecology and economy of the American prairies during the 1930s. Because of insufficient knowledge of the ecology of the plans, farmers had conducted extensive plowing of the soil, and displaced the native grasses that normally trapped soil and moisture. The Dust Bowl forced tens of thousands of families to abandon their farms and relocate to other states, which were at the same time affected by the Great Depression.

Another effect of this dust was that it contributed to the creation of static electricity.  So much built up between the ground and airborne dust that blue flames leapt from barbed wire fences. Static electricity could also short out engines and car radios.

Which statement best illustrates Siddhartha Gautama’s view toward wealth?
34kurt

The BEST answer is:

d. Gautama believed that he could best help others by giving up his wealth.

While there certainly is truth to answer C (as selected by the other respondent), Siddhartha Gautama's view toward wealth was more than a passive realization that it did not bring happiness. Even more so it was an active view that translated into action, giving up one's wealth to benefit others. He said of wealth, "A kind man who makes good use of wealth is rightly said to possess a great treasure; but the miser who hoards up his riches will have no profit."

Siddhartha Gautama is known as "The Buddha" (the "Enlightened One"). The details about his life history are debated by scholars, but we know the historical personage of Siddhartha Gautama as a teacher in ancient India around the 5th or 6th century BC. Buddhism is patterned after his teachings.
