  7. Continental Steppe • It is the most common type of steppe • It is mainly composed of yellowish-green grass with 40-50cm tall • It is very abundant in places with lots of rainstorms and with constant and strong winds • It is found in continental areas

  8. Subtropical Steppe • It has very short green grass with 4-5cm tall and some small bushes • It is common in the dry and temperate areas with mediterranean climate • This type of grass just needs a small amount of water to survive and still green so there is just a short wet period

  9. ShrubSteppe • It is composed of small bushes of several types • It is a abundant in very dry inland places usually near to deserts • Massive extensions of low land • Habitat of many small animals
