Question

• C. Prairies
• D. Savanna.

Answer 1

Answer:

B. Steppes

Steppes refer to the vast belt of temperate grasslands that stretch across Eurasia, from Eastern Europe (like Ukraine and Russia) through Central Asia (like Kazakhstan) and extending into Mongolia and Manchuria. They are characterized by a continental climate with hot summers and cold winters, and are typically treeless plains of short grass. The other options refer to grasslands in different regions:

• Pampas: South America (Argentina, Uruguay).

• Prairies: North America (USA, Canada).

• Savanna: Tropical grasslands (mostly Africa, parts of South America and Australia).
