Question Asked : SSC Combined Graduate Level Prelim Exam 1999
Explanation : Savanna formations find a favourable growth in form of a hot sub-humid tropical climate, a dry season and a rainy season, with an average annual temperature between 22°C and 27 °C. A savanna is a rolling grassland scattered with shrubs and isolated trees, which can be found between a tropical rainforest and desert biome. Not enough rain falls on a savanna to support forests. Savannas are also known as tropical grasslands. They are found in a wide band on either side of the equator on the edges of tropical rainforests. Savannas have warm temperature year round. There are actually two very different seasons in a savanna; a very long dry season (winter), and a very wet season (summer).
