Which mountain is called Roof Mountain?

Known as the Roof Mountain, it is the Himalayas.

Himalayas (Sanskrit: hima alaya, which means snowy area) and Tibetan means "hometown of snow". Located on the southern edge of the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau, it is the highest mountain range in the world, with 1 10 peaks reaching or exceeding 7350 meters above sea level.

It is the natural dividing mountain between East Asia and South Asia subcontinent, and also the natural border between China and Indian, Nepalese, Bhutanese, Pakistani and other countries. It starts from Nanga-Palbat Peak in Kashmir in the west (elevation 8 125m) and ends at Nanga Bawa Peak at the bend of Yarlung Zangbo River in the east (elevation 7782m), with a total length of 2450km and a width of 200~350km.

The main peak is Mount Everest, the highest peak in the world? (also known as Mount Everest, Tibetan name: Mount Everest), which means the third goddess in Tibetan, is as high as 8844.43 meters above sea level.

Geomorphological features

The Himalayas are distributed in China, Pakistan, India, Nepal and Bhutan, stretching for more than 2,400 kilometers, forming a big arc, which separates the Indian subcontinent from the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau in an approximate east-west direction, and its main part is on the border between China and India and Nepal.

It contains many parallel mountains, from south to north, such as Mount Keshan in Seevali, Little Himalayas and Great Himalayas, with a width of 200-300 kilometers and an average elevation of over 6,000 meters. There are many ultra-high peaks here, with more than 40 peaks above 7000 meters above sea level and as many as 16 peaks above 8000 meters. If the mountains in the world are arranged in height, the Himalayas are well-deserved kings of mountains.

In ancient geological times, the whole Himalayas and the vast area nearby were still a corner of the sea. From Cenozoic to Neogene, the deep seabed rocks were influenced by the strong Himalayan orogeny and rose into the sea, becoming the highest and youngest "roof of the world".

According to scientists' determination, Mount Everest is still rising at an average annual rate of 3.2 ~ 12.7 mm, continuing to set a new world record.
