This document summarizes three main types of grasslands: tropical grasslands, temperate grasslands, and cold (Arctic tundra) grasslands. Tropical grasslands have scattered trees, warm temperatures, and alternating wet and dry seasons. They are home to animals like giraffes, zebras, and elephants. Temperate grasslands have cold winters, hot summers, and deep, fertile soil. Animals include bison, prairie dogs, and wolves. Cold grasslands are located south of the Arctic ice cap with treeless plains, bitterly cold temperatures, and adaptations like thick fur. They are home to animals such as arctic foxes and musk oxen. The document also
Temperate Grassland biomes are large areas dominated by grasses, flowers and herbs with few trees. These biomes support many large animals like bison, elephants and giraffes through their fertile soils and semiarid climate. Temperate grasslands contain some of the most productive land for grazing and agriculture.
The Sahara Desert ecoregion covers an area of 4.6 million square kilometers in the hyper-arid center of the Sahara Desert. It is surrounded by desert ecoregions that receive slightly higher rainfall and have more vegetation. The Sahara Desert is the world's largest subtropical hot desert, located in Northern Africa between the Red Sea and the Atlantic Ocean. It features extremely high temperatures year-round and very low and irregular rainfall, making it one of the hottest and driest places on Earth. The Sahara is home to various wildlife adaptations as well as human populations that have historically relied on nomadic herding and trade routes.
The Sahara Desert ecoregion covers an area of over 4 million square kilometers in the hyper-arid center of the Sahara between 18° and 30° N. It has a hot desert climate with high temperatures year-round and extremely low rainfall. The landscape includes sand dunes, stone plateaus, gravel plains, and salt flats. Sparse vegetation is found along the northern and southern edges where rainfall is higher. Wildlife has adapted to the harsh conditions with physical features like the camel's hump that allow survival with little water. People have historically lived as nomads or in oases, with Berber and Arabic cultures predominating in the region.
This document summarizes the eight major geographic regions of North America: Coastal Range, Basin and Range, Rocky Mountains, Great Plains, Interior Lowlands, Canadian Shield, Appalachian Mountains, and Coastal Plain. Each region is briefly described in terms of its location, key geographic features, and notable areas.
The Sahara Desert has very harsh environmental conditions for life. Temperatures range from 20 to 45 degrees Celsius, and the ground can become blazing hot from the sun's direct rays. Most animal life is small, nocturnal carnivores or insects. Humans have adapted to the desert by developing dark skin to shield from the sun and tall bodies to minimize water needs. They maintain stable temperatures through sweating but must replace lost fluids to avoid dehydration, which can impact bodily systems. Loose, light clothing and head coverings help humans cope with the desert heat.

The document discusses the temperate grasslands of North America (called the Prairies) and South Africa (called the Velds). It describes the climate, vegetation, animals, and human activities found in each region. The Prairies have a continental climate with hot summers and cold winters. Tall grass dominates and the bison was an important animal. People engage in cattle ranching and farming. The Velds have a milder climate due to ocean influence and receive summer rainfall. Grasses, acacia trees and animals like lions are found there. People raise cattle and sheep, and mining is important.
The Sahara desert is the world's largest hot desert, located in North Africa. It covers an area of 8.54 million square kilometers and touches 11 countries. The climate is very hot and dry, with high daytime temperatures sometimes reaching 50 degrees Celsius. Vegetation is sparse but includes cacti, date palms, and acacia trees, while animals include camels, hyenas, foxes, and various snakes and lizards. Tribal peoples such as the Bedouins and Tauregs live in the Sahara desert and rely on livestock like goats, sheep and camels for milk, meat, and materials for clothing, shelter, and tools.
