The hot summers cause the flora to be baked into a nice crisp golden brown, and in the winter the land freezes over and is carved by powerful winds that are able to gather terrific speed because of the vast open area grasslands provide.
Im doing a project and so far that's all i know
hope I help :D
What else can I help you with?
Differentiate Tropical Grasslands from Temperate Grasslands?
The Tropical grassland biome, such as the African savanna, lie mostly between the tropics of Cancer (23.4 degrees North) and Capricorn (23.4 degrees South). Tropical grasslands are a transition between the hot desert biome and the tropical rainforest biome - it receives between approx. 51 to 127 cm of rainfall annually, and has two seasons - a dry season and a wet season. Temperatures are reasonably constant all year round (25 to 33 degrees C)Lack of rainfall means that grass and a few specially adapted trees, such as the Acacia and Baobab trees, survive in this environment. There are less trees the closer you get to the desert and more trees the closer you get to the rainforest. Fire is very important in the grasslands as it burns off the dry stalks of grass, which renew when the rains come. The grasses roots are protected from the fire and the ash puts nutrients into the soil. The baobab tree survives the dry season and fire, because it stores water in its trunk and has a very thick bark. The acacia also has long tap roots and a bark that has a fire resistant sap. Significant animals in tropical grasslands include: Elephants, giraffe, lions, cheetah, cattle, antelope, wildebeest and buffalo. Environmental concerns in tropical grasslands include: poaching, overgrazing, clearing of the land for crops, soil erosion The temperate grasslands are located north and south of the tropics and extend to approximately 60 degrees north and south. They are better known as prairies or plains in the USA and Canada, Steppes in Eurasia, Pampas in South America and the Veld in South Africa. Here the dominant vegetation is grass, with many flowers. Here, there is less rainfall than in the tropical grasslands, approx 25 -75cm annually, but here the seasons differ inthe fact that there is a warm season and an extremely cold (or dormant, non-growing) season where temperatures range from 38 degrees C. in the summer, to as low as -40 degrees C. in the winter in the more extreme latitudes. Significant animals in temperate grasslands include: Bison, gazelle, deer; burrowing animals such as mice and jack rabbits; and predators such as snakes and coyotes. Environmental concerns in temperate grasslands are: many prairies have been turned into farms or grazing because the land is flat, treeless, covered with grass, and have rich soil. Grasslands are found on all continents, except for Antarctica.
What is the three grand division's climate?
The climate in the three grand divisions of Earth (tropical, temperate, polar) varies based on their location. Tropical regions are typically warm year-round with high humidity, temperate regions have distinct seasons with moderate temperatures, and polar regions are cold with long winters and short summers. Each division has its own unique weather patterns and characteristics.
Why do animals adapt to the temperate grasslands?
If they didn't, they would die. Before it was grassland is was probably dense forest where prey animals relied on hiding to keep them safe. Out in the grasslands there are few places to hide and unless they adapted (gaining better senses or a faster running speed for example) they would all be eaten by something bigger.
Does Neptune have seasons or not?
Yes, Neptune does have seasons. However, the seasons on Neptune are different from Earth as they are caused by its tilted axis and extremely long orbital period. One year on Neptune is equivalent to about 165 Earth years.

What are mammoths habitat?
Mammoths lived in many different habitats around the world. However, they usually lived in grasslands. Some, such as the Woolly Mammoth, lived in Arctic grasslands (tundra), and others, such as the Columbian Mammoth, lived in temperate grasslands, and others, such as the African Ancestor Mammoth, lived in savannas. Note that mammoths in warmer climates didn't have long hair.
