**Grassland Location**
Grassland biomes are located on every continent except for Antarctica. In North America, Grassland areas seem to occur toward the middle, unlike Australia, where they occur on the outside near the Pacific Ocean. Grasslands occur throughout all of Africa, however there grasslands are normally classified as Savannas. They also occur throughout all of South America, and towards the middle of Asia and Europe.

====** Climate ** Grasslands usually have four seasons: spring, summer, fall, and winter. Usually summers are warm, and winters are cold, however the Grasslands located in Africa, Northern South America, And Southern Europe and Asia do not experience winter because of how close they are to the equator. Generally, the Average Temperature of a Grassland Biome ranges from below 0 degrees Celsius to about 20 degrees Celsius yearly; however exactly, Savannah temperatures are towards the warmer range, while Temperate Grassland temperatures range from 38 degrees Celsius in the Summer, to as low as -40 degrees Celsius in the Winter. Grasslands have a very dry climate, with a minimum of 20 cm of rain to generally a maximum of 100 cm of rain per year. Savannas receive about 50.8 cm to 127 cm of rain per year. Temperate grasslands annually receive about 50.8 to 88.9 cm of rain. Steppes, which are drier areas of grasslands, receive about 25.4 cm to 50.8 cm of rainfall yearly. ====
