Question

Whats is the different between stppes and savannas?

Answer 1

There most important difference between a steppe and a savanna is where it is located. Savannas lie nearer the equator and are warmer than steppes. Being nearer the rainforest means they have two major seasons: a hot, wet summer and a marginally cooler, but much drier winter. Steppes, by contrast, lie further from the equator and in sheltered areas. This means the precipitation they get is dispersed evenly throughout the year. Fewer large plants can take root under such dry conditions. Being further from the equator also means colder conditions, and in some northern steppes, snow, rather than rain, is common.
