I don't know all of them...a steppe is usually like a foothill area near mountains, like the Alpine Steppes, a prairie is a flatland with usually tall grass. A savannah is also a flatland with high grass, but is usually an African term. I'll be interested to see other answers.

Answer 3

well, a savanna is a biome and as far as i know a steppe is kind of like a little mountain i think.
