Detailed explanation-1: -Grasslands near the equator produce plants that can withstand a hot climate through most of the year as well as drought and fires. The savannas of Africa are probably the best known but tropical grasslands are also located in South America, India and Australia.

Detailed explanation-2: -Tropical grasslands (savannah) are located between the latitudes of 5° and 30° north and south of the Equator, within central parts of continents. Temperate grasslands lie in the centre of continents, between the latitudes of around 40° – 60° north of the Equator .

Detailed explanation-3: -Tropical grasslands are close to the equator and are hot all year long. The grasslands in Africa are called savannas or veldts and are home to animals like zebras, lions and ostriches.

Detailed explanation-4: -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-5: -There are two types of grasslands: tropical grasslands (sometimes called savannas) and temperate grasslands. Savannas are found closer to the equator and can have a few scattered trees. They cover almost half of the continent of Africa, as well as areas of Australia, India, and South America.
