Related Knowledge Climate: The climate for grasslands is basically dry.  Precipitation usually does not exceed 100 cm per year, with a minimum near 20 cm per year.  Also, grasslands tend to be in temperate to subtropical areas, often with cold winters and hot summers.  World Distribution: Whatever their origins, grasslands today are found in areas of the world intermediate in precipitation between deserts and forests.  In the northern hemisphere the main grasslands are the prairies of the midwestern United States and Canada; in Eurasia the maker grasslands are the steppes of Russia and the grasslands of the mideast extending from Turkey to India. Grasslands are also found in South America.  Africa certainly has grasslands, but the majority of them are classified instead as savannas (a tropical grassland with interspersed trees) and they are treated with the tropical seasonal forests here.
