Detailed explanation-1: -Tropical Grassland, Savanna & Shrubland is dominated by grasses and shrubs, with or without scattered trees (which may have up to 40% cover). Some occur in climates too dry for forest; others depend on soil conditions or fire, or both, rather than climate, but frost is typically absent throughout the growing season.

Detailed explanation-2: -If you’ve ever watched a TV program about African wildlife, you’ve seen a savanna biome. This transitional grassland biome – somewhere between a forest and a desert – is characterized by warm temperatures, moderate rainfall, fires, seasonal droughts, coarse grasses and diverse animals.

Detailed explanation-3: -The correct answer is A definite dry and wet season. Savannas-also known as tropical grasslands-are found to the north and south of tropical rainforest biomes. It is also known as Tropical wet and dry in the Koeppen classification.

Detailed explanation-4: -Climate: A tropical wet and dry climate predominates in areas covered by savanna growth. Mean monthly temperatures are at or above 64° F and annual precipitation averages between 30 and 50 inches. For at least five months of the year, during the dry season, less than 4 inches a month are received.
