Grasslands
areas the midpoint between forest and deserts.
It
is believed that if the grasslands received a
bit more rain they would someday become a forest,
and if they received less, a desert.
They
are know for their temperate weather and rolling
winds. Grasses can often be seen bending.
There
are 2
threats in the grasslands that are effects of
the climate:
- TORNADOS
- The rain and wind are a dangerous mix because
there are few mountains to break up large storms.
The grasslands are a frequent target for tornados.
- FIRES
- During the dry season, a small fire can quickly
become a large disaster, the high winds help
the fires move across the countryside.
