Answer 2

Answer: The following events that led to the Dust Storm in the 1930's was the slowly deteriorating topsoil in the Mid-West due to generations of overusing the land. Now that the topsoil is loose, it came get blown away in the wind, possibly blowing it for hundreds of miles. The largest dust storm in America was over 300 miles wide.
