The study of physical features of the earth and its
atmosphere, and of human activity as it affects and is
affected by these,including the distribution of
populations and resources,land use, and industries.

The Philippines is subdivided into
seventeen (17) regions – eight (8) in
Luzon, three (3) in the Visayas, and
six (6) in Mindanao. These regions
are not local government units but
their existence is primarily for
administrative purposes. Thus in
each region, a city is designated as
the center where each of the
national government agencies have a
regional office.

over four billion individuals.
Asia is divided into 48
countries, three of them are
trans-continental.Asia can be
divided into five regions.
These are Central Asia, East
Asia, South Asia, Southeast
Asia, and Western Asia.

Regions of Asia
Central Asia

West Asia is politically divided

Azerbaijan, Turkey, Cyprus, Syria,
Lebanon, Israel, Palestine,
Jordan, Iraq, Kuwait, Bahrain,
Qatar, Saudi Arabia, United Arab
Emirates, Oman, and Yemen. It
also includes the Sinai Peninsula
of Egypt.

Location Advantages
The Philippines is located in the
Northern-side of the globe. It is between
the equator and the Tropic of Cancer. As
a Southeast Asian country, the
Philippines geographic location is very
important to the rest of the world.

 Its strategic location can become the center for distribution
of different kinds of goods and a trading post for the rest of
the Southeast Asian countries.
Advantages

 sea area of the country
is a main route of marine
vessels as well as an
International route for
commercial airplanes.
the center of
communication, as well
as center for livelihood
in the whole Southeast
Asian regions in the
past.

DISADVANTAGES
 The scattered
positions of the
islands hinder the
country to fully
achieve development
as well as the peace
and order.

 The communication and
transportation is very slow.
Because of the scattered islands
that make up the country, this
becomes a hindrance to fully
communicate fast in the whole
archipelago.
 The Philippines government is
not able to fully support and
manage the areas that are far,
especially those that are
located in the far mountainous
provinces.

Philippines government are not
able to pour their immediate
support in terms of services
pertaining to livelihood,
education, as well as their
grievances and overall problem
of the community.
 it needs a big and huge number of
armed forces to defend its
territories up to the smallest island
in the Philippines.

 There are different cultures, regional dialects, and way of living by the
different community groups living in different islands in the Philippines.
Because of Philippines geography, it becomes difficult to unite all of
these groups in order to have a full unity support in the whole country.

There is also the problem of insufficient infrastructure such as roads,
bridges, docks, airports and electricity in the far areas of the country.
 it is difficult for the government to reach out to all the Filipinos to give
basic needs such as health, education, and livelihood programs. We
strongly felt this problem when government and non-government
organizations needs to send "relief goods" to the areas who were
struck by natural calamities such as typhoons, earthquakes, etc.

open area for anyone who wanted to come via the
sea. This causes the problem of smuggling and
illegal importing and exporting of goods to and
from the country.
The effect is that no appropriate taxes
were imposed and the government
losses revenue sources.

A land form in the earth sciences
compromises a
geomorphological unit,and is
largely defined by its surface
form and location in the
landscape.As part of the terrain
a landform is an element of
topography.

• It' a large landform that
stretches above the
surrounding land in a
limited area, usually in the
form of a peak.A mountain
is generally steeper than a
hill.
• Mountains are formed
through tectonic forces or
volcanism.

as well as in the tidal zones
in the river estuaries.

Molave forest are those in the
Philippines where molave trees
grow. A molave is a tree that grows
with
a crooked trunk. It reaches heights of
up to 82 to 89 feet (25 to 30 meters)
tall. The wood of this tree is
valuable because it a hard, yellow
wood that is durable.

DIPTEROCARP FOREST
The dipterocarp forest covers the
largest forest areas in the
Philippines.It is situated from the
coastal
flats going up to approximately
800 meters in the altitude. The
diptorocarp forest is the bigges
source of lumber
supply in the country.

Climate is the average
weather in a given area
over a longer period of
time.

The climate of the earth is
determined by a variety of
factors. One of these factors is
the temperature. The average
temperature that we experience
on Earth is 15 degrees Celsius, or
59 degrees Fahrenheit.

Humidity has an effect on
climate. High humidity in the
air, especially when it is
combined with stagnant
atmospheric layers, can
reduce both the amount of
ground-level solar radiation
and the amount of that
radiation that escapes
directly to space.

Precipitation is a
measure that takes into
account the amount of
water that falls from the
sky. The term
precipitation can refer to
rain, snow, hail, or other
forms of liquid and solid
precipitation.

Winds and ocean currents
are the most important
factors in determining the
climate of a region. s and
ocean currents affect
temperature, humidity, wind
speed, precipitation and air
pressure.

Solar radiation is an
important factor in
climate change due to
the heating effects of the
sun. Solar radiation is the
heat that comes from the
sun and heats up our
planet.

Topography refers to the
condition of a place with
respect to the earth’s
surface. It can be described
as different types of relief,
such as hills, mountains,
valleys etc. The term
topography also is used in
meteorology and
oceanography to describe
the layout of land or the
seafloor.

Latitude is also the main factor
that determines the
temperature of the earth’s
surface.
Elevation (or altitude) is the
vertical distance between the
surface of the Earth and the
centre of the Earth. It is
measured in metres above the
mean sea level (MSL).

Types of Climate in the Philippines
The Climate of the Philippines is tropical and
maritime.It include tropical rainforest, tropical
monsoon, tropical savanna, humid subtropical and
oceanic (both are in higher-altitude areas)
characterized by relatively high temperature,
oppressive humidity and plenty of rainfall.

Tropical rainforest
Tropical rain forests have
a type of tropical climate
in which there is no dry
season—all months have
an average precipitation
value of at least 60 mm
(2.4 in).

Tropical monsoon
climates have monthly
mean temperatures
above 18 °C (64 °F) in
every month of the year
and a dry season.

commonly called
amihan, affects eastern Philippines
from October to late March. Initially a
cold, dry air mass, it comes from
Siberia and gathers moisture over the
Pacific Ocean before reaching the
eastern parts of the country. It is
characterized by widespread
cloudiness with rains and showers.

on the other
hand, is called habagat.
Characterized by heavy rains
that last for a week, it
affects the country from July
to September and brings the
rainy season to the western
part of the country.

Metro Manila has a tropical
savanna climate with dry
winters. Over the course of a
year, the temperature
typically varies from 22°C
in January to 34°C in May.

Humid subtropical
climate is characterized
by hot and humid
summers, and cold to
mild winters. Provinces
with this type of climate
are typically located at or
near coastal areas.

has cool
summers and cool but not
cold winters. It rarely
experiences dry season as
rainfall is evenly distributed
throughout the year,
however they may get
constant storms which cause
cloudy or overcast
conditions.
