“Climate is extreme, rainfall is scanty and the people used to be nomadic herders.” The above statement best describes which of the following regions? (2013)
Solution (b)
Bordering the deserts, away from the Mediterranean regions and in the interiors continents are the temperate grasslands. Though they lie in the Westerly wind belt, they are so remote from maritime influence that the grasslands are practically treeless. These grasslands are so distinctive in their natural vegetation that, although those which occur in the southern hemisphere have a much more moderate climate, they are often dealt with together.
In the northern hemisphere, the grasslands are far more extensive and are entirely continental. In Eurasia, they are called the Steppes and stretch eastwards from the shores of the Black Sea across the Great Russian plain to the foothills of the Altai Mountains, a distance of well over 2,000 miles

In contrast, the Southern Hemisphere is away from the sun. It, therefore, has shorter days and longer nights
