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

History
1 answer:
Feliz [49]3 years ago
6 0

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 of the following BEST explains who the Daughters of Liberty were and the role they played in the American Revolution?
olga2289 [7]

The correct answer is C) They were women who boycotted British goods, instead, producing the goods they needed at home.

The statement that BEST explains who the Daughters of Liberty were and the role they played in the American Revolution is "They were women who boycotted British goods, instead, producing the goods they needed at home."

All American colonists participated in the claim for liberty and independence. Men formed the Sons of Liberty. Women formed the Daughters of Liberty. This female group was formed to protest against heavy taxation from the British crown.  They were angry when the English imposed the Townshend Acts of 1767, that charged taxes for imports such as lead, tea, glass, and paper. They always supported the Patriotic cause.

How did Theodore Roosevelt enact "control of corporations" while he was president?
Marta_Voda [28]

Answer:   The Square Deal was Theodore Roosevelt's domestic program, which reflected his three major goals: conservation of natural resources, control of corporations, and consumer protection. These three demands are often referred to as the "three Cs" of Roosevelt's Square Deal.

Explanation:  One of Roosevelt's acts as president was to deliver a 20,000-word address to Congress asking it to curb the power of large corporations (called "trusts"). He also spoke in support of organized labor to further chagrin big business, but to their delight, he endorsed the gold standard, protective tariffs and lower taxes.
