Nhambwe imhando yenzvimbo. Izwi rinobva kuRussia uye rinoreva chimwe chinhu se "nzvimbo isina kugadzirwa" kana "nzvimbo isina miti". Huswa hunomera mumapani panzvimbo pemiti. Mamwe materu akafukidzwa nouswa hurefu, mamwe ane hushoma. Asi kunewo mosses, lichens, uye makwenzi mashoma akadai seheather.
Miti haikuri musteppes nekuti haina kunaya zvakakwana. Miti inoda mvura yakawanda. Pakunonaya kupfuura nguva dzose, pazvitsuwa zvakawanda zvinoonekwa. Asi kunewo anonzi sango steppe, ane ega ega "zvitsuwa" zvemasango madiki. Dzimwe nguva panenge pasina miti nekuti ivhu ranyanya kuipa kana makomo.
Ma steppes ari kunyanya mumamiriro ekunze anodziya, sezvatinoziva muEurope. Mamiriro okunze akaoma, muchando uye kunotonhora usiku. Mamwe materu ari pedyo nenzvimbo dzinopisa uye kunonaya mvura yakawanda. Asi nekuda kwekudziya kwakanyanya ikoko, mvura yakawanda inoputika zvakare.
Nhanho huru pasi rose iri muEurope neAsia. Inonziwo "the great steppe". Kubva kuAustria Burgenland, inomhanya kure kuRussia uye kunyange kuchamhembe kweChina. The Prairie muNorth America zvakare nhanho.
Chii chakanakira steppes?
Steppes inzvimbo inogara mhuka dzakawanda dzakasiyana. Kune mhando dzeantelope, pronghorn, uye dzakasiyana mhando dzellamas dzinogona kugara munhambwe. Nyati, kureva bison muAmerica, imhukawo dzesteppe. Pamusoro pezvo, makonzo mazhinji akasiyana anogara pasi pevhu, senge imbwa dzemusango kuNorth America.
Nhasi, varimi vakawanda vanochengeta mapoka makuru emombe mumawere. Izvi zvinosanganisira nyati, mombe, mabhiza, makwai, mbudzi, uye ngamera. Munzvimbo dzakawanda, mune mvura yakakwana yokudyara chibage kana gorosi. Gorosi zhinji riri kukohwewa munyika nhasi rinobva kumawere eNorth America, Europe, neAsia.
Huswa hwakakoshawo. Nechekare muStone Age, munhu akarima zviyo zvemazuva ano kubva kune mamwe marudzi azvo. Saka vanhu vaigara vachitora mhodzi huru ndokudzikusha zvakare. Pasina nhanho, tingadai tichirasikirwa nechikamu chikuru chezvokudya zvedu nhasi.
