Most grasslands only see an average rainfall of around 500 to 800 mm per year, such as that of the Great Plains and Mixed-Grass Prairies of the USA and Canada, respectively. The Serengeti of Africa is no different, though the Serengeti happens to have a few thousand more trees than a natural North American prairie does and has an annual rainfall that is around 200 mm more than what the temperate grasslands of North America get. The topography can range from flat to rolling hills, and is generally treeless because of the lower moisture content. Some grasslands end into cliffs and canyons and start on plateaus or in ancient volcano beds, and others are vast and run for thousands of miles without a break in the landscape.
