The world s largest and youngest plateau is known as the roof of the world

The roof of the world generally refers to the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau. It is the largest and youngest plateau in the world, and it is very famous.

The Qinghai-Tibet Plateau, the inland plateau of Asia, is the largest plateau in China and the highest altitude in the world, known as the "roof of the world" and "the third pole". The Tibetan Plateau is the youngest plateau in the world. 10,000 years ago, the plateau was lifted at a faster rate, reaching 7 centimeters per year, making it the "roof of the world" on Earth today.

Today, the central part of the Tibetan Plateau is dominated by weathering, while the edge is still rising.

The Qinghai-Tibet Plateau is between 26° 39° north latitude and 73° 104° east longitude, from the Pamir Plateau in the west, to the Hengduan Mountains in the east, to the Kunlun Mountains, Altun Mountains and Qilian Mountains in the north, and to the Himalayas in the south, with a length of about 2,800 kilometers from east to west and a width of about 300 1,500 kilometers from north to south.

With a total area of about 2.5 million square kilometers, most of which are located in China, except for the southwestern part of India, Pakistan, Nepal, Sikkim, Bhutan and Myanmar.

The natural history of the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau is extremely young, and under the influence of a variety of factors, it has formed the world's tallest and most annual natural geographical unit, which is closely integrated with horizontal and vertical zonality. The average annual temperature in the hinterland of the plateau is below 0, and the average temperature of the warmest month in large areas is less than 10.

The Qinghai-Tibet Plateau is generally between 3,000-5,000 meters above sea level, with an average altitude of more than 4,000 meters, and is the source of many major rivers in East Asia, Southeast Asia and South Asia. There are many lakes on the plateau, such as Namuqi Bangcuo, Qinghai Lake, etc.

The natural history of the Qinghai-Tibet Gaoming Chayuan is extremely young, and under the influence of a variety of factors, it has formed the world's tallest and youngest natural geographical unit with a close combination of horizontal zonal and vertical excavation sheds. The average annual temperature in the hinterland of the plateau is below 0, and the average temperature of the warmest month in large areas is less than 10.

The Qinghai-Tibet Plateau, the inland plateau of Asia, is the largest plateau in China and the highest altitude in the world, known as the "roof of the world" and "the third pole". It stretches from the southern edge of the Himalayas in the south, to the northern edge of the Kunlun Mountains, the Altyn Mountains and the Qilian Mountains in the north, the Pamir Plateau and the Karakoram Mountains in the west, and the western section of the Qinling Mountains and the Loess Plateau in the east and northeast.
