Explanation:

The period of dust storms that damaged the agriculture and ecology of Canadian and American prairies during 1930's is called dust bowl.

Extended drought coupled with economic depression, poor agricultural practices, high temperatures and wind erosion all contributed to the Dust Bowl.

There were 14 dust storms in 1932 and 38 in 1933.
