Question

Which type of climate supports the growth of temperate grasslands?

Options

• Maritime

• Continental

• Tundra

• Equatorial

Answer 1

Continental

Explanation:

Temperate grasslands occur in the interior of continents in mid‑latitudes, away from the moderating effect of oceans, so they have a continental (extreme) climate with warm summers, very cold winters, large temperature ranges, and moderate, seasonal rainfall (about 20–50 cm). These conditions favor grasses rather than forests.
