Thank you, Ms. Cabo. Anyways, hello everyone! my name is carl panal, I will discuss the
topography of the Philippines. So, before we proceed, topography refers to the
arrangement and variations of physical features of an area or a country.
SLIDE 12
The topography of the Philippines is highly diverse since our country is an archipelagic
state due to the tectonic plate movements between the Philippine plate, Eurasian plate,
and Sunda plate which is why the Philippines is part of the pacific ring of fire.
Because of this, it results in most mountain ranges oriented roughly north to south.
tall mountain ranges, valleys, low-lying plains, and sandy beaches. Examples for these
landforms are Sierra Madre in Luzon, Agusan Valley in Mindanao, Central Luzon Plain,
Palawan, and Mount Apo.
