Question [CLICK ON ANY CHOICE TO KNOW THE RIGHT ANSWER]
This biome gets 25-75 cm of water a year, which is not enough to support many trees.
A
Deserts
B
Deciduous Forests
C
Savannas
D
Grasslands
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -Temperate grasslands receive rainfall of the range 25 cm and 75 cm. Furthermore, the climate in the temperate grasslands makes it both dormant and growing. Moreover, these grasslands suffer extreme climates.

Detailed explanation-2: -A savanna is a rolling grassland scattered with shrubs and isolated trees, which can be found between a tropical rainforest and desert biome. Not enough rain falls on a savanna to support forests. Savannas are also known as tropical grasslands.

Detailed explanation-3: -The largest areas of savanna are found in Africa, South America, Australia, India, the Myanmar (Burma)–Thailand region in Asia, and Madagascar.

Detailed explanation-4: -Animals adapt to the shortage of water and food through various ways, including migrating (moving to another area) and hibernating until the season is over. Grazing animals, like gazelles and zebras, feed on grasses and often use camouflage to protect themselves from predators when they are roaming in the open.

Detailed explanation-5: -Typically grasslands contain only grasses, such as swordgrass, whereas savannas support both grasses and widely dispersed trees; trees in these landscapes do not form a canopy as they do in forests.
