What is the latitude of savanna's biome?

There is no such thing as the Savanna Desert. A savanna is a distinct biome, a grassland, and receives more rain than a desert. It is defined as a grassy plain in tropical and subtropical regions, with few trees. There is no single savanna as they are found in several locations around the world, especially in Africa and South America.

In which part of Asia would one be most likely to encounter vegetation known as Tundra?

In the far north of Asia. As a tourist travels farther north, eventually the trees will become shorter and more stunted, then disappear altogether. This treeless plain will be home to permafrost (underneath) and an assortment of unique ground cover that is known as tundra. In the winter, everything is covered with snow and ice. In summer, the snow retreats and the plants, those little survivors that spend most of the year hidden under a white blanket, come to life and offer food and shelter to many animals. Birds nest in the tundra. Musk ox nibble the greenery. (They've been re-introduced.) Geese by the zillions nest on the open ground. Little voles and such eke out a living on and below the ground. The wolf and the fox patrol the territory. The fragility of this biome is hidden behind its beauty and vastness. You need a link to the Wikipedia article for more facts, for a map and for links to other sites with related information. And, because this is WikiAnswers, we've got one for you.
