Answer 2

The Tibetan Plateau in Central Asia is appropriately dubbed "the roof of the world," with an average elevation of more than 4,500 metres (14,764 feet).

Explanation:

• It is the highest and biggest plateau on the planet, occupying an area about four times the size of Texas.

• Tectonic forces have long formed the crumpled and raised mountain ranges of the Tibetan Plateau. It is surrounded by mountain ranges that contain the world's two highest summits, Mount Everest and K2.

• It is the consequence of a collision between the Indian and Eurasian plates. It is renowned as "the Roof of the World" because of its high height above mean sea level.
