Presentation transcript:

 My Words: Savanna’s are grasslands with Shrubs and isolated trees that can be found in a desert biome and tropical rainforest, there is not enough water to have forest’s. Savannas are considered tropical grasslands they are found on both sides of the equator next to the tropical rainforests.

 Savannas can be found in every continent but Antarctica  Most Of Africa except the top is Savannas, the middle of North America is Savannas, only a small part of Europe and Asia are Savannas, Most of South Africa is Savannas except for the top the east side and the top of Australia is Savanna

 The Topography of the Savanna is complex the altitude can be from sea level to 2000 M. One very large factor is lack of rain which prevents higher layers of grass to dominate witch is coupled with fire and grazing low rain makes the grass dominant. The Savannas are mostly flat with few short twisted trees, the Savannas has very few rivers.  The trees are widely spaced leaving open canopys allowing light to come in.

 Humans can influence the grassland by decreasing the land area and making space for industrialization. The animals and trees have less space minimizing population. Large areas have been turned to farmland.  Humans also increase the chance of fire and when humans start fires they spread quickly through grasses and damage soil
