What form of electricity killed the wheat and other crops in the dust bowl?

History

Feliz [49]3 years ago

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.

What were John Reed’s impressions of the Bolsheviks?
guapka [62]

Answer:

"John (“Jack”) Reed wasn’t looking backward to the French Revolution or even the Paris Commune when he chronicled the seizure of power of the Russian Revolution of 1917. As a 30-year-old independent radical journalist, he was looking at it with fresh eyes. What he saw was not just the overthrow of a repressive monarchist oligarchy and its attendant bourgeois class, but a vast democratic, majoritarian movement based on “soviets,” or councils, made up of workers, soldiers, and peasants. Although he had been embedded in Pancho Villa’s rebel army in Mexico and covered Industrial Workers of the World strikes in New Jersey and miners’ struggles in Colorado, it was witnessing the cataclysmic events in Russia that confirmed him as a revolutionary."-Ten Days That Shook the World by John Reed
