Question

An area classified as a temperate deciduous forest begins to experience a lack of rainfall that lasts for many years. Given enough time, if the area continues to experience a lack of rainfall, it will eventually become:__________a. savanna.b. temperate rainforest.c. shrubland, grassland, or woodland.d. taiga.

Answer 1

Savanna

Step-by-step explanation:

Lack of rainfall over a period of time may convert a temperate deciduous forest into a Savanna.

Grasslands are characterized by a domination of grasses rather than large shrubs or trees. Savanna is a grassland with a few scattered individual trees. Savannas are always found in areas that are quite hot. The annual rainfall in a typical savanna may range from about 76.2-101.6 cm. Some savanna regions may receive as low as 15.24 cm -25.4 cm of rain in a year, followed by a long period of drought when fires can occur.
