Added information, Category
'''Steppes''' are plains with no trees. The high flat expanses of northern [[Eurasia]] are examples of steppes. They usually have little rain and are covered with coarse grass. Steppes are good lands for [[nomads]] and their herds.
Living on the steppes promoted the breeding of horses and the development of military skills that were essential for the [[Mongols]] to form one of the greatest empires in history.
