Question

comparative analysis between prairies and velds

Answer 1

Grassland can be defined as a region where grasses form the dominant type of plant life.Grasslands make up almost a quarter of the total land surface.The types of plants that grow here greatly depend on what the climate and soil are like.As climate plays an important role in the formation of grasslands, it is generally used as a basis to divide the world’s grasslands into two broad categories:Temperate Grasslands – Temperate Region Tropical Grasslands  – Tropic RegionGrasslands – THE PRAIRIESThe temperate grasslands of North America are known as the Prairies It is a region of flat, gently sloping or hilly land.For the most part, prairies are treeless but, near the low lying plains, flanking river
valleys, woodlands can be found.Tall grass, up to two metres high, dominates, the landscape.It is actually a “sea of grass.”The prairies are bound by the Rocky Mountains in the West and the Great Lakes in the East The prairies cover parts of United States of America and parts of Canada.In the USA, the area is drained by the tributaries of Mississippi.The Canadian prairies are drained by the tributaries of Saskatchewan Rivers.The grasslands of Prairies were the home of American Indians, more popularly known as
‘Blackfoot Indians’.The Prairies were home of other tribes also like the Apache, the Crow, the Cree and the Pawnee.
