Teacup Yorkie puppies are extremely small types of Yorkshire Terriers that will weigh less than 3 pounds as adults. Teacup Yorkies can be registered with the AKC and are not disqualified simply because of their size, as the breed standard states only that Yorkshire Terriers must weigh less than 7 pounds.
Definition: The Dust Bowl is an environmental disaster that hit the Midwest in the 1930s. A combination of a severe water shortage and harsh farming techniques created it. Some scientists believe it was the worst drought in North America in 300 years. The lack of rain killed the crops that kept the soil in place.
This story is based upon a research article, On the Cause of the 1930s Dust Bowl, recently published by Siegfried D. Schubert, Max J. Suarez, Philip J. Pegion , Randal D. Koster, and Julio T. Bacmeister in the March 19, 2004 edition of SCIENCE Magazine.
