The term "Dust Bowl" was coined in the 1930s to describe a series of dust storms that devastated the prairies of Canada and the United States.
It now includes western Kansas, eastern Colorado, northern New Mexico, and the panhandles of Oklahoma and Texas, as well as the rest of the United States.
The dusty wind carried coarse and fine soil and other material particles with it. Inhaling the dusty air also caused lung illnesses and pneumonia, killing many children and adults, some of whom died decades later.
