which was not a cause of the dust bowl? *
a drought
high winds
thick layers of prairie grasses
overproduction of crops

Explanation:

First Question:

During the Great Depression, historical data shows the overall unemployment rate peaked around 25 percent. 100% and 75% are unrealistically high, and 10% is too low for the peak of the Depression.

"The Grapes of Wrath" was written by John Steinbeck. Grant Wood was a painter, Richard Wright wrote other works, and Dorothea Lange was a photographer.

The Dust Bowl was caused by drought, high winds, and overproduction of crops (which led to soil erosion). Thick layers of prairie grasses would have helped prevent erosion, so it was not a cause.

Answer:

C) 25 percent
