Pampas are found in Argentina. Prairies can be found in North America. In Europe and Asia steppes are the most common. Most grasslands are used for farming. Savannas are warmer grasslands and have grasses that are much taller. Pampas also have taller grasses and fertile soil. Prairies have both short grasses and tall grasses. Steppes are mostly found in Europe and Asia. They are dry, cold, and hard to farm.

The humid continental climate or highlands climate are found in the prairies of North America, while in the steppes of Eurasia you will find the semi-arid, arid, humid subtropical, and highlands climates. The pampas have a humid-subtropical climate, but in the African savannas there’s arid and semi-arid climates as well. Grasslands have four seasons these are; Summer, Autumn, Winter, and Spring. Summers can reach up to 32 degrees Celsius while in the winter below 0! Precipitation normally reaches 50-88 cm.
