Tropical seasonal forest/savanna is a biome characterized by distinct wet and dry seasons. It consists of scattered trees with grassy areas dominating the landscape during the dry season.
Imagine standing on vast plains dotted with isolated trees while feeling warm winds blowing across your face. During certain times of the year, the grass turns golden and dry, but when the rains come, everything becomes lush and green.
Monsoon: A seasonal wind pattern that brings heavy rainfall during certain times of the year.
Grassland: A biome dominated by grasses rather than trees or shrubs.
Drought: An extended period of abnormally low rainfall resulting in water scarcity.
