Answer:

Both the llanos and the pampas are South American regions characterized by being plains with high fertility, so they are centers of high agricultural production for their countries.

Explanation:

-The Llanos is a vast tropical grassland in Colombia and Venezuela. It lies between the Andean Mountains and the Orinoco River.   It is a large, warm region with rolling grasslands broken by low-lying plateau mountains, thick woods and scattered palm trees. The height above the sea varies between 100 and 300 meters. During the dry season (November-April) the grass is crisp, yellowish and inedible. During the rainy season much of the area is flooded. The region is sparsely populated, and livestock farming is the dominant production in the zone. With flood control and water storage projects in the region, parts of Llanos have been transformed into fertile agricultural lands.

-The Pampas is a fertile plain in southeastern South America. It covers mainly central and eastern Argentina.  In addition, there is a transition zone in Uruguay to the southern Brazilian plateau landscape; however, the Uruguayan Pampas is a smaller, slightly undulating landscape.

The Argentine Pampas is a very populous and vast area, about 750,000 km², which slowly rises from the Atlantic and the Parana river in the east towards the Andes in the west. In the north it is bounded by the Chaco area and in the south by the Patagonia.

The climate is mild but windy, with hot summers and dry winters, but not frost-free. It rains moderately, and the rainfall is evenly distributed throughout the year.  

The eastern part of the region is characterized by fertile loose soils. Agriculture also provides good crops here, including wheat, maize, sunflowers, oilseeds, soybeans and potatoes. The central and western parts of Pampas are mostly used as pastures for large herds of cattle.

Pampas is considered one of the world's largest grain stores and accounts for about one-third of Argentina's total grain and beef production.
