Steppe in Eastern Kazakhstan

The Kazak steppe (also: Kazakh steppe , formerly: Kyrgyz steppe , in Kazakh: Sary Arka = "large steppe ") is a large landscape located in the western part of Central Asia (between Volgograd in the west, Karagandy in the east, Ural in the north and the Caspian Sea and Aral Sea in the South). It extends over an area of ​​around 1,750,000 km ² and is characterized by a dry and strongly continental climate . In the north, the Kazakh steppe is bounded by the Kazakh threshold , in the west it extends to the border of Europe and there merges into the Caspian Depression . In the southeast, the predominantly flat steppe is bounded by the high mountains of Central Asia. The Kazakh steppe is considered to be the largest dry steppe in the world. However, the large Kazakh steppe landscape is not steppe in the true sense of the word, but also partly consists of desert or semi-desert .
