Detailed explanation-1: -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.

Detailed explanation-2: -Savanna, steppe, prairie, or pampas: They’re all grasslands, the globe’s most agriculturally useful habitats.

Detailed explanation-3: -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.

Detailed explanation-4: -A savanna or savannah is a mixed woodland-grassland (i.e. grassy woodland) ecosystem characterised by the trees being sufficiently widely spaced so that the canopy does not close. The open canopy allows sufficient light to reach the ground to support an unbroken herbaceous layer consisting primarily of grasses.

Detailed explanation-5: -Some examples of savanna habitat are the East African plains, the South American pampas, and the open woodlands of northern Australia. The savanna is home to large herds of grazing wildlife and the predators that follow them.
