Explanation:

It is called the Dust Bowl, a sandstorm phenomenon that occurred in the United States in the 1930s and lasted almost ten years. It was an economic and environmental disaster that severely affected much of the United States of America.

It occurred in three events (1934, 1936 and 1939-1940), but some of the regions of the High Plains experienced drought conditions for almost eight years. The "dust bowl" effect was caused by years of poor soil management practices. This became susceptible to wind forces, which caused a drought induced by the high level of soil particles suspended in the air. The soil, stripped of moisture, was raised by wind in great clouds of dust and sand so thick that they hid the sun for several days. These days were referred to as "black breezes" or "black wind."
