Johannesburg is known for being the gold capital of the world. Gold and diamond mining are major occupations of people of this region.

A forest is a large area dominated by trees. Hundreds of more precise definitions of forest are used throughout the world, incorporating factors such as tree density, tree height, land use, legal standing and ecological function.

Grassland refers to a large open area of country covered with grass, especially one used for grazing.

The largest areas of natural grassland—those resulting from climatic dryness—can be classified into two broad categories: tropical grasslands, which generally lie between the belts of tropical forest and desert; and temperate grasslands, which generally lie between deserts and temperate forests.

Known as prairies in North America, pampas in South America, veld in Southern Africa and steppe in Asia, Temperate Grasslands, Savannas, and Shrublands differ largely from tropical grasslands in the annual temperature regime as well as the types of species found here.

A forest is a large area dominated by trees. Hundreds of more precise definitions of forest are used throughout the world, incorporating fauna is the animals of a particular region, habitat, or geological period.

Veld is a grassland especially of southern Africa usually with scattered shrubs or trees. It is often referred to as "acacia thornveld", is a type of semi-arid savanna in which grassland with thorny acacia and certain species of thorny bushes predominate.

It is actually ‘a sea of grasses’. The prairies cover parts of the United States of America and parts of Canada. The Rocky Mountains bound them in the West. The Great Lakes cover them in the east. The tributaries of Mississippi drain the prairies in the USA. On the other hand, the tributaries of the Saskatchewan Rivers drain the prairies of Canada.

The prairies are bound by the Rocky Mountains in the West and the Great Lakes in the East.
