Question

Which does not explain why a large part of the Great Plains became known as the "Dust Bowl"?



A.

B.
Little rain fell for several years.


C.


The soil of the Great Plains was too rocky to support farming.

Answer 1

I have a feeling it's D.

@yoloboy @tester97 @timaashorty

Answer 4

The question is which does NOT explain why a large part of the Great Plains became known a the dust bowl. Winds did have an effect, as well as lack of crop rotation, and drought. So the answer is C.

Answer 5

But the Great Plains have always been nice for farming. The Dust Bowl during the 30s messed up the farming.

Answer 6

thanks!

Answer 7

so your going for D

Answer 8

I'm ambivalent now lol.

Answer 9

I still go for C, and I think what @iPwnBunnies said confirms it. If the Great Plains have always been nice for farming, than the quality of land is definitely not a reason why it became known as the dust bowl. Since the question is "Which does NOT explain why a large part of the Great Plains became known as the dust bowl," it must be C, since it is not a good explanation.

Answer 10

OMG, you're right. The question says which does NOT.

Answer 11

It is C. Boom. I knew I was ambivalent for a reason lol.
