Provide a basic description of a steppe region based on vegetation, temperature, and precipitation. Also describe where this climatic region is found in North America

What will be the ideal response?


ANSWER: Semi-arid (BS) climates are referred to as steppe, which typically have short bunch grass, scattered low bushes, sparse trees, or sagebrush. In North America, this climatic region includes most of the Great Plains, the southern coastal sections of California, and the northern valleys of the Great Basin. As for arid regions, northern areas experience lower winter temperatures and more frequent snowfalls. Annual precipitation is generally between 20 and 40 cm (8 and 16 in.).
