Final Jeopardy Answer for November 5
The correct answer for Final Jeopardy on November 5, 2024 is “What is the Dust Bowl?’”
One of the main hints in the clue is the year, 1935, which is right in the middle of The Great Depression. “The part of the U.S.” will also clue you toward a term for a specific region.
The first wave of the drought happened in 1934, causing a large swathe of the American and Canadian prairies to become extremely dry. This was mainly due to the destruction of the topsoil by settlers and a lack of effort in stopping wind erosion. The counties impacted the most were those closest to the corners where Texas, New Mexico, Kansas, and Colorado meet.
The term “Dust Bowl” was coined by news editor Edward Stanley from the Associated Press in Kansas City after reporter Robert E. Geiger saw black blizzards across Boise City, Oklahoma in April 1935.
