•The main cause of the Dust Bowl in the 1930s was a combination of drought, poor agricultural practices such as over-farming and over-grazing, and high winds that caused severe soil erosion.
•A network of grass roots can help prevent a dust bowl from occurring by promoting sustainable agricultural practices, planting windbreaks to prevent soil erosion, promoting soil conservation techniques, and raising awareness about the importance of protecting the environment.
•Soil is an important resource because it supports plant growth, retains water and nutrients, filters pollutants, and provides habitat for a variety of organisms.
•The layers of soil in a temperate region from the farthest layer from the surface of the Earth to the closest are bedrock, subsoil, topsoil, and organic matter.
•Soil is considered a renewable resource because it can be replenished through natural processes over time, although it can also be depleted if not managed sustainably.
•Conserving resources means using them wisely and efficiently in order to avoid waste and ensure their availability for future generations.
•The benefits of electric or hybrid cars include reduced air pollution, lower greenhouse gas emissions, improved fuel efficiency, and reduced dependence on fossil fuels.
•A result of both the Clean Air Act and the Clean Water Act was a significant reduction in air and water pollution, improved public health, and protection of the environment.
•A person might want to use a renewable energy source rather than fossil fuel because renewable energy sources are cleaner, more sustainable, and have a lower environmental impact compared to burning fossil fuels.
