Pst 14- Biomes/Location/Climate



The image on the left is an image of where the Savannah biome is located across the world. The Savannah biomeis located in Northern South America, Central and South africa, Indonesia and North Australia. There is not enough rainfall to support a forest so the land is a rolling grassland scattered with shrubs and isolated trees. The temperature is warm all year round with a very dry season (winter) and a very wet season (summer), 4 inches of precipitation falls during the dry season and 15-25 inches during the wet season. The dry season is a little cooler than the wet season but still averages out to about 70 farenheit. Savannahs are located in between deserts and rainforests so it's location is generally in or near the equator and this makes for a very hot and generally dry area, though there is still heavy rainfall from time to time. This biome is named a tropical Savannah or tropical grassland. Post a question query or concern if you so feel inclined.
