A defining characteristic of the Tibetan Plateau is its extreme altitude, often referred to as the “Roof of the World,” with an average elevation exceeding 4,500 meters (14,800 feet) above sea level. This vast, high-altitude region features unique landscapes, including mountain ranges, lakes, and expansive grasslands, and is home to diverse ecosystems. The plateau significantly influences climate patterns in Asia and serves as the source for many major rivers, including the Yangtze and Indus.
