Discussion
Which of the following region is known as the "Third Pole of the Earth" ?
Answer: A
The 'Third Pole' is the Himalaya-Hindukush mountain range and Tibetan Plateau (printed in the paper as Tibel Plateau).
The Hindu Kush-Himalaya region and the Tibetan Plateau hold the largest store of ice and snow outside the Arctic and Antarctic, which is why they are called the Third Pole. Their glaciers feed great Asian rivers including the Indus, Ganga, Brahmaputra, Yangtze and Mekong.
Antarctica is itself the South Pole region, Greenland lies in the Arctic, and the Central Siberian Plateau is a cold upland without comparable ice reserves.
