Grasslands are large areas with rolling hills of grasses and wildflowers. Grasslands are found on every continent but Antarctica. Sometimes grasslands are called prairies, savannahs, or steppes.

The roots of the grasses and small plants make the soil rich and great for farming. Some of the grasslands are used for animal grazing, too. The map below shows where grasslands are located around the world.
