The introduction to "The Rite of Spring" attributes the extinction of the dinosaurs to a gigantic Dust Bowl event The term "Dust Bowl" was more familiar to the original audience of the film than to modern ones. It was coined to describe a period of severe dust storms in the 1930s, caused by severe drought and wind erosion in the North American area of the Great Plains. The weather event started in 1930 and continued until 1939--a year before the release of this film.
