Question

Steppe grassland is found in?
A. South Africa
B. Australia
C. Central Asia
D. None of the above

Answer 1

Hint: The Steppe is a plain feature of land which has dry grass. It is a common feature that is found in 5 out of 7 continents.

Complete answer:
The steppe is an environmental feature of temperate regions. These areas receive too much heat in summers and extreme cold during winters. The lack of an adequate amount of humidity makes these tall grass dry. The central Asian steppe of Kazakhstan is a part of the Eurasian steppe which is also known as “the great steppe”. This largely covered area includes eastern china, Mongolian regions and continues till Russia in the European continent.
The various kinds of grasses that are found here are wild tulips, poppies, blue sage, tufted grass, irises, camel’s grass, and steppe thistle. The flora covers the land with the color of silver grey. The fauna of this zone includes the following: Bactrian camels, long-legged bustard, saiga, sand grouse, marble polecat, boba marmot, and Przewalski’s horse
The people that usually stay here are tribal or nomadic people who don’t usually require staying for quite long in one place because the soil in such a dry region is incapable of cultivating much variety of edible plants.

So, the correct answer is Option C.

Note: There isn't much humidity in the air because Steppe is located away from the ocean and close to mountain barriers.
• It can turn to a forest if it receives an appropriate amount of humidity or even to a desert with a complete lack of it.
• This feature is not found in the continents of Australia and Antarctica.
