There are three types of North American grasslands. They are tall grass prairies, mixed grass prairies, and short grass prairies.
A prairie is an area of land covered by grasses, flowers, and other non-woody vegetation. It is a flat or gently rolling landscape found primarily in the central regions of North America. Prairies are important ecosystems that support a variety of plant and animal species.
The vegetation of a tropical savanna climate typically consists of grasslands with scattered trees and shrubs. Examples of trees found in tropical savannas include acacias and baobabs, while grasses such as elephant grass are also common. The vegetation is adapted to the long dry season and periodic fires characteristic of this climate.
Most grasslands only see an average rainfall of around 500 to 800 mm per year, such as that of the Great Plains and Mixed-Grass Prairies of the USA and Canada, respectively. The Serengeti of Africa is no different, though the Serengeti happens to have a few thousand more trees than a natural North American prairie does and has an annual rainfall that is around 200 mm more than what the temperate grasslands of North America get. The topography can range from flat to rolling hills, and is generally treeless because of the lower moisture content. Some grasslands end into cliffs and canyons and start on plateaus or in ancient volcano beds, and others are vast and run for thousands of miles without a break in the landscape.

The answer is in the name. Short grass prairies and tall grass prairies are different because short grass prairies have short grass, and tall grass prairies have tall grass. Also, tall grass prairies get up to 40 inches of rain, and short grass prairies get only 15inches of rain a year.

With a generally temperate climate, the Pampas house grassy prairies and grass steppes. The climate, being mild, and the evenly dispersed rainfall of the area allow agriculture to flourish.
The Great Plains cover a wide area of the North American continent. In general, the Plains closer to the Rock mountains are dryer because they are in the rain shadow of the mountains; these are the short grass prairies. Farther east, where it is more humid and there is more rain, there are tall grass prairies. In general, the Great Plains have a wide variety of weather throughout the year with very cold winters and very hot summers. There is usually plenty of wind, too. The prairies support abundant vegetation in undisturbed settings, but people have easily converted much of the prairies for agricultural purposes or pastures.

The color of prairies grasses are green.A mid-color green.Possibly brown if dead.
