Geography and climate have a very big effect on the culture of the propel living in a certain area. It affects the way people live and interact with each other and how they interact. The geography in a place can also affect plant life and how they will survive.

The Philippines by Aileen Zenarosa

The Philippines is composed of 7,107 islands. It's located in Southeast Asia. It's divided into 3 major islands; Luzon, Visayas and Mindanao. It is rich in natural resurs and has two seasons; wet and dry.

The Philippines is surrounded by large bodies of water which are the Pacific Ocean in the east, Bashi Chanel in the North, South China Sea in the West and Celebes Sea in the South.mThese bodies of water are the reason for the typhoons and strong rains that we are experiencing right now. Since we belong to the Pacific Ring of Fire, there are a lot of volcanoes; both active and inactive.

The Philippine geography affects its people and their way of living. It largely affects its economy as well. Since we are a tropical country, we use the climate to our own benefits. For example, we plant crops and grow them for food and/or industry.
