What are grasslands?

edit

Grasslands are wide expanses of land filled with low growing plants such as grasses and wildflowers. The amount of rain is not enough to grow tall trees and produce a forest, but it is enough to not form a desert. The temperate grasslands have seasons including a hot summer and cold winter.


Where are the major world grasslands?

Grasslands are generally located between deserts and forests. The major temperate grasslands are located in central North America in the United States, in Southeast South America in Uruguay and Argentina, and in Asia along the southern portion of Russia and Mongolia.

Types of Temperate Grasslands.

Each major area of grasslands in the world has its own characteristics and is often called by other names:

Prairie - Grasslands in North America are called the prairies. They cover around 1.4 million square miles of the central United States, including some of Canada and Mexico. Steppes - The steppes are grasslands that cover southern Russia all the way to the Ukraine and Mongolia. The steppes stretches over 4,000 miles of Asia, including much of the fabled Silk Road from China to Europe. Pampas - grasslands in South America are often called the pampas. They cover around 300,000 square miles between the Andes Mountains and the Atlantic Ocean. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Human Hi there (talkcontribs) 04:39, 17 October 2019 (UTC)Reply
