In Asia The grasslands are called steppes, they are located in the mid west and mid east parts of Eurasia. Grasslands are usually found between forests and deserts. The grasslands have two seasons, hot and wet season starts when (spring and early summer) and cold and dry season (fall and winter) which can last up to 8 months. The warm and wet season comes from the winds blowing from the rain forests. The cold and dry season comes from the winds from a desert. The average precipitation in the Grassland biome is about 20 to 35 centimeters in the hot and wet season (spring and early summer). In the cold and dry season (fall and winter). there is 0 centimeters of precipitation. There is not much percipitation, because it is cold and //dry.// The average temperature(in celcius) in the grassland biome is about below 0 degrees celcius to 20 degrees celcius.
