Explanation

Steppe grasslands are large open areas covered with grass and few trees. They have hot summers and warm winters with moderate rainfall. These conditions create perfect environments for grasses to grow but not enough water for many trees.

Steppes receive more rain than deserts but less than savannahs. The rainfall pattern supports mostly short grasses and shrubs. Animals like horses, sheep, and antelope graze on these grasslands.

Savannahs have scattered trees along with grasses and experience distinct wet and dry seasons. Tropical deserts have very little rain and extreme temperatures. Temperate deserts have cold winters, making them different from warm-winter steppes.
