Question

There are at least fourteen states in the United States and three provinces in Canada that are considered primarily prairie according to the amount of average annual rainfall and the maps of the biomes. Please list at least 10 states and 3 provinces that have a considerable amount of prairie land in your answer. If you need help with state names or province names, check with a map.

Answer 1

Prairies, known for their temperate grasslands, are found in numerous states across the US and provinces in Canada, rich in dense grasses and fertile soil that promote agricultural richness, thereby making these regions especially important for farming and livestock.

Step-by-step explanation:

Temperate grasslands, also known as prairies in North America, are characterized by annual fluctuations in temperature and a range of annual precipitation from 25 cm to 75 cm (9.8-29.5 in). The soil in these regions is fertile, often packed with the roots and rhizomes of grasses, contributing to dense vegetation suitable for grazing animals. Here is a list of states and provinces where you can find such prairie land:

• Montana
• North Dakota
• South Dakota
• Wyoming
• Nebraska
• Kansas
• Oklahoma
• Texas
• Minnesota
• Iowa

And the three prairie provinces in Canada are:

• Alberta
• Saskatchewan
• Manitoba

The vegetation and climate of these prairie and plains regions have earned them the title of America's breadbasket, indicating their importance in agricultural production, especially grain farms and cattle raising.
