Grassland rather than forests are different due to water, water and water. The more water (rain, snow) the more likely trees will grow. The less water, more grass will be there. If you look on a map (US), you will see that the further west you look, the fewer trees will be seen and more and more grass, until you will begin to see desert in which even grasses have a hard time growing.
Yes, grasslands are made up of prairies, savannahs, or steppes.
No, Yellowstone National Park is not primarily a temperate deciduous forest. It is primarily made up of subalpine and alpine ecosystems, with a mix of grasslands, forests, and geothermal features like geysers and hot springs. The forests in Yellowstone are mostly composed of coniferous trees such as lodgepole pine and Douglas fir.
Vegetation zones are geographical areas with distinct types of plant life based on factors like climate, soil, and elevation. These zones help classify and describe the different types of vegetation found in different parts of the world, ranging from forests and grasslands to deserts and tundra. They play a crucial role in shaping ecosystems and supporting diverse wildlife.
The area known as the Great Plains in North America was once the home of a large interior seaway which receded around 55 million years ago, leaving a huge flat terrain of marine deposits behind.
Terra firma
There are no jungles in South Africa. South Africa is made up mainly of grasslands with some forests and rain forests.
The shelter in the grasslands are usually hut made of grass and sticks
There are temperate rain forests in the US, for example the Olympic National Forest in Washington State, however the central part of the US is temperate grasslands.
Raccoons in urban areas live in hollow trees, dense hedge bottoms, in or under garden sheds under decks or raised patios. They are very versatile and clever at getting into man-made structures.
Yes, grasslands are made up of prairies, savannahs, or steppes.
Humans primarily live in terrestrial biomes, such as grasslands, forests, deserts, and tundra. We have also adapted to urban environments, which can be considered their own habitat due to human-made structures and modifications.
Barn owls do not exclusively live in barns. They can be found in a variety of habitats including grasslands, marshes, and forests. However, they are known to nest in barns, abandoned buildings, and other man-made structures.

New Zealand, like many dozens of other countries of the world, is made up of a variety of ecosystems. There are extensive forests, from rainforests to open forest areas, as well as grasslands, coastal ecosystems, alpine and sub-alpine regions and a variety of other landscapes.
