Model Answer

Grassland of the World

  • There are two main kinds of grasslands: tropical and temperate. Examples of temperate grasslands include Eurasian steppes, North American prairies, and Argentine pampas. Tropical grasslands include the hot savannas of sub-Saharan Africa and northern Australia.
  • Tropical grasslands have dry and wet seasons that remain warm all the time (temperature: 25°C to 30°C). Temperate grasslands have cold winters and warm summers with some rain (below 0°C in winters to 32°C in summers).
  • Wildfires are vital for grasslands’ existence; they prevent woody plants from spreading and enable the grass to re-grow thicker and healthier.
