The Mongolian Plateau is a vast, elevated region in Central Asia, primarily located in Mongolia and parts of northern China. It features a mix of grasslands, deserts, and mountain ranges, making it a key area for pastoralism and agriculture. The plateau's altitude ranges from about 900 to 1,600 meters (3,000 to 5,200 feet), leading to its distinct climate with cold winters and warm summers. It's known for its diverse wildlife and the traditional nomadic cultures that have thrived there for centuries, relying on the land for their livelihoods. The plateau plays an important role in the region's ecology and economy.
