what mountain range is the roof of the world
The highest peak in the world, Everest, at 8844.43 meters high is known as 'the Roof of the World'. On the second step are large basins and plateaus, most of which are 1,000 - 2,000 meters high. The Daxing'an, Taihang, Wu and Xuefeng Mountains divide this step and the next lower one.
