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.
The fine soil of the Great Plains was easily eroded and carried east by strong continental winds. On November 11, 1933, a very strong dust storm stripped topsoil from desiccated South Dakota farmlands in just one of a series of severe dust storms that year. Beginning on May 9, 1934, a strong, two-day dust storm removed massive amounts of Great Plains topsoil in one of the worst such storms of the Dust Bowl. The dust clouds blew all the way to Chicago, where they deposited 12 million pounds of dust.
