Detailed explanation-1: -Savannas are always found in warm or hot climates with annual rainfall ranging from 50.8 to 127 cm (20-50 inches). It is critical that rainfall be concentrated in six to eight months of the year, followed by a long period of drought during which fires can occur.
Detailed explanation-2: -Savanna is grassland with scattered individual trees. Savannas of one sort or another cover almost half the surface of Africa (about five million square miles, generally central Africa) and large areas of Australia, South America, and India. Climate is the most important factor in creating a savanna.
Detailed explanation-3: -Savannas exist in areas where there is a 6-8 month wet summer season, and a 4-6 month dry winter season. The annual rainfall is from 10-30 inches (25-75 cm) per year. During the dry season, lightning often strikes the ground, igniting the dry grasses that cover the savanna.
Detailed explanation-4: -In the savanna climate there is a distinct dry season, which is in the winter. Savannas get all their rain in the summer months. During the distinct dry season of a savanna, most of the plants shrivel up and die. Some rivers and streams dry up.
Detailed explanation-5: -The savannah climate grassland is called Lanos and Kompas.
