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.
Liberal, Kansas, 14 April 1935. The Dust Bowl drought of the 1930s was one of the worst environmental disasters of the Twentieth Century anywhere in the world. Three million people left their farms on the Great Plains during the drought and half a million migrated to other states, almost all to the West. But the Dust Bowl drought was not meteorologically extreme by the standards of the Nineteenth and Twentieth Centuries. Indeed the 1856-65 drought may have involved a more severe drop in precipitation. It was the combination of drought and poor land use practice that created the environmental disaster.
