2. Philippines Archipelago of 7,107 islands Known as the country
with the 5th longest coastline in the world Bordered by the
Philippine sea to the east, South China Sea to the west andwith the
Celebes Sea to the North. Mountainous islands mainly consist of
tropical rain forests 3. Do you care about the environment? The air
in the Philippines are mostly polluted and recently over the years,
the government has taken achange to slowly but surely improve the
environment living conditions. Not only are humans suffering from
the pollution, but plants and animals as well are being affected.
About 2% of trees are cut down each year, which makes living
creatures suffer. With growth of the population expanding, it in
turns creates more water and air pollution. Pollution can be either
man made or natural. Air pollution mainly comes from motor vehicles
while water pollution is from people throwing trashinto rivers. Air
pollution, water pollution and deforestation are the major problems
that causes bad environment.If people continue to help clean their
areas and save any recyclable products, then the Philippineswould
be a better and a cleaner place in the future. Many people are
helping and teaching children howto clean properly. Since people
who live near the slum dont have access to clean water or
basicsanitation, the people who help them should be responsible for
them, then the Philippines would be ahappier place. 4. Climate
Tropical Maritime Climate Three seasons: tag-init (hot dry)-
Happens around March May tag-ulan (rainy)- Happens around June
November tag-lamig (cool dry) Happens around December- February 5.
Climates of the Philippines 6. Wildlife and Environment Around
1,100 land vertebrae species 100 mammals & 170 bird species
found only in the Philippines Endemic species: The Tamaraw of
Mindoro The Visayan Spotted Deer Philippine Mouse Deer Visayan
Warty Pig Philippine Flying Lemur Lacks large predators, except:
Snakes Pythons, cobras, saltwater crocodiles and prey birds 7.
Birds Have large beaks to loose more heat Can Afford to have large
beaks than birds intemperate regions Different sized beaks allow
for different adaptationsaccording to use. Toucan- cutting up
pieces of fruits and nuts Philippine Eagle- hooked beaks to tear
small prey apart 8. Environmental Relationship 9. Factors: Abiotic
and Biotic 10. Abiotic Factor Warm Sunlight- photosynthesis Light
is the main source of energy Most of he sunlight is absorbed by the
upper canopy Photosynthesis- plants uses chlorophyll to change
energy from sunlight into chemical energy Water- affects living
animals, plants Greater than 80 inches of rain each year
Transpiration- Loss of water through parts of the plant (leaves,
stems, roots) Climate Control: 20-34 degrees Celsius Precipitation-
The correct amount of rain Temperature and Soil Soil is shallow and
thin- few nutrients and soluble minerals Nutrients are largely
found in roots and leaves of living plants and decomposing
vegetation on theforest floor 11. Water 12. Temperature and Soil
13. Transpiration 14. Temperature & Climate Normal range is
93-68 degrees High constant temperature increases the rate
ofevaporation and keeps humidity high Warm temperatures quick
growth Animals 15. Biotic Factors Factors that is living in a biome
(plant or animal) Producers- uses photosynthesis to create its
ownfood Consumers Primary- consumes plants Secondary- consumes meat
