Grasslands occur when there is insufficient regular rainfall to allow forest development but not so little that a desert develops.

 Important Points

  • North America is home to the bulk of "prairie" terrain.
  • The Interior Lowlands, which encompasses much of the Great Plains as well as the wetter, hillier territory to the east-region of Canada, the United States, and Mexico.
  • It is known as the temperate grasslands.

 Additional Information

  • Grasslands in Australia are commonly referred as Grasslands and sometimes as Savanah in the North.
  • Grasslands in Africa are called Savannas.
  • The temperate grasslands of South America are referred by different names in different regions – paramos, puna, pampas and campos and the Patagonian steppe.
  • Hence, Prairie grassland occurs in North America.
