Which of the following is called the 'Roof of the World'?

Concept

A geographical epithet is a conventional descriptive title attached to a place because of a prominent physical or historical feature.

Such titles are identified by established geographical usage, not merely by comparing elevations or the literal meanings of place names.

Application

The Pamir mountain region is widely known as the 'Roof of the World' because it forms an exceptionally high plateau and mountain hub in Central Asia.

Contrast

• Satpura is a hill range in central India and is not known by this epithet.

• Aravalli is an ancient hill range in northwestern India and is not known by this epithet.

• Myanmar is a country in Southeast Asia, not the high Central Asian mountain region denoted by this title.

Cross-check

UNESCO and Tajikistan's Ministry of Foreign Affairs both use the title 'Roof of the World' for the Pamir Mountains.

Result

Therefore, the answer is Pamir.
