Which plateau is known as the 'roof of the world'?

Solution

✅ Correct Option: 2

The Tibetan Plateau, averaging over 4,500 metres in elevation and covering a vast area north of the Himalayas, is the highest and largest plateau on Earth, which earns it the title roof of the world. The Deccan lies in peninsular India, the Patagonian Plateau in southern Argentina, and the Bolivian (Altiplano) Plateau in South America, all at far lower average heights.
