Explanation

Tibet is called the 'Roof of the World' because it has an average elevation of about 4,500 meters (14,800 ft), making it the highest region on Earth. The Tibetan Plateau covers most of Tibet and is the source of several major Asian rivers. While Kashmir is also mountainous, Tibet uniquely holds this nickname due to its massive, high-altitude plateau.
