What is the difference?
- 1Location: Savannas are typically found in tropical or subtropical regions, while steppes are usually located in temperate or cold climates.
- 2Rainfall: Savannas receive more rainfall than steppes, resulting in a more diverse range of vegetation and wildlife.
- 3Temperature: Steppes experience colder temperatures than savannas due to their location and climate.
- 4Vegetation: Savannas have scattered trees and bushes, while steppes have fewer trees and shrubs.
- 5Human use: Steppes are often used for nomadic herding, while savannas are more commonly used for agriculture and tourism.
Remember this!
Savanna and steppe are both types of grasslands with low tree density and various species of animals. However, the difference between savanna and steppe lies in their location, rainfall, temperature, vegetation, and human use. Savannas are found in tropical or subtropical regions, receive more rainfall, and have scattered trees and bushes. On the other hand, steppes are located in temperate or cold climates, have fewer trees and shrubs, and are often used for nomadic herding.
