Answer:

In physical geography, a steppe is an ecoregion characterized by grassland plainswithout trees apart from those near rivers and lakes.[1] Steppe biomes may include:

the montane grasslands and shrublandsbiome

the temperate grasslands, savannas and shrublands biome

The Eurasian Steppe Belt (in   on the map), a path of passage for cultures — a possible origin for the Indo-European languages, thedomesticated horse, the wheel and chariot

Steppe in Ukraine

Steppe in Kazakhstan

Steppe in Mongolia

The prairie of North America (especially theshortgrass and mixed prairie) is an example of a steppe, though it is not usually called such. A steppe may be semi-arid or covered with grass or with shrubs or with both, depending on the season and latitude. The term "steppe climate" denotes the climateencountered in regions too dry to support a forest but not dry enough to be a desert. Steppe soils are typically of the chernozemtype.

Steppes are usually characterized by a semi-arid or continental climate. Extremes can be recorded in the summer of up to 45 °C (115 °F) and in winter, −55 °C (−65 °F). Besides this huge seasonal difference, fluctuation between day and night is also very great. In both the highlands of Mongolia and northern Nevada, 30 °C (85 °F) can be reached during the day with sub-freezing readings at night.

Steppe in Russia

Mid-latitude steppes feature hot summers and cold winters, averaging 250–510 mm (10–20 in) of precipitation per year. Precipitation level alone does not define a steppe climate; potential evapotranspirationalso plays a role.
