Which of the following regions is known as the 'Roof of the World' due to its exceptionally high altitude and mountain node convergence?
A. Anatolian Plateau
B. Pamir Mountains✓ Correct Answer
C. Deccan Plateau
D. Colorado Plateau
💡 Solution & Explanation
The Pamir Mountains are globally recognized as the Roof of the World because they form a massive high-altitude knot where major Asian mountain systems like the Himalayas, Tian Shan, Karakoram, and Hindu Kush converge. Other plateaus like Anatolia or the Deccan feature lower overall elevations and do not act as the primary geographic node for multiple mountain ranges.
