History of the Steppe Introduction Geography. The Steppe (aka the Eurasian Steppe) is a vast strip of land stretching from Ukraine to Mongolia. The term steppe denotes grassland: a low-precipitation region with enough rain for grass, but not enough for trees (see Climates and Biomes).
There is also a lot of wind in the Steppe because there are few trees. Steppe has warm summers and really cold winters. There is often a lot of snow in the northern Steppes. All the Steppes experience long droughts and violent winds.Sometimes the summers are so hot that the grasses catch on fire. That is more dangerous then usual because the grass is so dry that it spreads quickly.here is also a lot of wind in the Steppe because there are few trees.
