PHILGOV ASSIGNMENT NO.1 And Being a 4th Year STI Student

    Ito ang unang post ko para sa blog na ito. Hindi ko alam kung bakit biglang pumasok sa isip ko na gumawa ng blog tungkol sa pagiging college student sa STI.

    Anyways... Yung first week ng pagiging 4th year sa STI ehh mejo masaya pa din naman. Nakasama ulit namin ang isa't isa. As usual, maingay nanaman kahit na may mga nawala na; may umalis, hindi na nag-aral, nag-asawa, namatay at kung anu-ano pang kalokohan o makabuluhang pagtigil sa pag-aaral.

2. Theories regarding the origin of the Philippines.
• MU OR LEMURIA THEORY
• The Philippines came from a lost continent named Mu or Lemuria. Other remnants of this lost continent are the Pacific Islands, Borneo, Marianas, Java, Sumatra and Celebes
• The Volcanic Eruption Theory or "PACIFIC" OR "MAGMATIC THEORY"
• Another version on the origin of the Philippines is the volcanic eruption theory. Dr. Bailey Willis, a geologist, concluded that the Philippines was a result of the eruptions of submarine volcanoes along the western side of the Pacific basin. These eruptions caused magma and lava to pile up, forming the Philippine isles.
• The Philippine archipelago came about due to volcanic eruptions beneath the ocean, and the lava rose to the surface and became the islands
• ASIATIC THEORY
• The Philippines was a part of the Asian continent through land bridges; however, when the ice melted, these land bridges sank which resulted in the detachment of the Philippines from mainland Asia
• The Ice Age Theory
• During the Ice Age, glaciers stored portions of the water on the earth in the form of ice. This ice formation caused a drop in the world’s ocean levels. During this period, the Philippine archipelago was part of the continental landmass of Asia. Scholars believed that land bridges connected the Philippines to Asia.
• When the Ice Age ended about 10,000 years ago, the ice formation melted and the ocean levels rose. The land connections to Southeast Asia became flooded. The flooding submerged the land bridges and created the Indonesian and Philippine archipelagos. Since then, these islands had been populated by migrating people who traveled by boats. The migrants came mainly from Indonesia and the Malay Peninsula. However, there were also migrants from the costs of Indochina and, to a lesser extent, from China and Taiwan.
• The Bottom-of-the-Sea Theory
• In 1976, Dr. Fritjof Voss, a German scientist, challenged the Ice Age theory. According to him, the Philippines was never a part of mainland Asia. Dr. Voss claimed that the Philippine islands were located directly above a fault in the earth’s crust. Powerful earthquakes pushed up the landmass from the ocean floor and the Philippine islands rose from the bottom of the ocean.
• The Lost-Continent Theory
• A group of geographers believed that the Philippines constitute the remains of a lost continent during prehistoric times. This continent had sunk below the ocean waters. However, a few portions of land – which now make up the Philippines – were left above water.
3. Geographical location of the Philippines and Provinces

4. Philippine Topographical Features
• Anyong Lupa
• Kapatagan — isang lugar kung saan walang pagtaas o pagbaba ng lupa, patag at pantay ang lupa rito. Maaaring itong taniman ng mga palay,mais,at gulay. Halimbawa: Kapatagan ng Gitnang Luzon
• Bundok — isang pagtaas ng lupa sa daigdig, may matatarik na bahagi at hamak na mas mataas kaysa sa burol. hal.Bundok Banahaw, Bundok Apo.
• Bulkan — isang uri ng bundok sa daigdig na kung saan ang tunaw na bato ay maaaring lumabas dito mula sa kailaliman ng daigdig. May dalawang uri ng bulkan, una ang tinatawag na tahimik na kung saan matagal na hindi ito sumasabog, tulad ng Bulkang Makiling na matatagpuan sa lalawigan ng Laguna; at ang ikalawang uri naman ay aktibo na kung saan maaari itong sumabog anumang oras. Mapanganib ang ganitong bulkan. Maaari itong sumabog at magbuga ng kumukulong putik at abo. Halimbawa nito ay ang Bulkang Pinatubo.
• Burol — higit na mas mababa ito kaysa sa bundok at ang halimbawa nito ay ang tanyag naChocolate Hills ng Bohol sa Pilipinas. Pabilog ang hugis nito at tinutubuan ng mga luntiang damo sa panahon ng tag-ulan at kung tag-araw ay nagiging kulay tsokolate.
• Lambak — isang kapatagan ngunit napaliligiran ng mga bundok. Marami ring mga produkto tulad ng gulay, tabako, mani, mais, at palay ang maaaring itanim dito.
• Talampas — patag na anyong lupa sa mataas na lugar. Maganda ring taniman
• Baybayin — bahagi ng lupa na malapit sa tabing dagat
• Bulubundukin — matataas at matatarik na bundok na magkakadikit at sunud-sunod.
• Pulo — mga lupain na napalilibutan ng tubig.
• Yungib — mga likas na butas na may sapat na laki at lawak na maaaring pasukin ng tao at hayop.
• Tangway — pahaba at nakausling anyong lupa na naliligiran ng tubig.
• Tangos — mas maliit sa tangway.
• Disyerto — mainit na anyong lupa
• kapuluan — mga grupo ng iba't ibang pulo
• Anyong Tubig
• Karagatan -Ang karagatan ay ang pinakamalawak at pinakamalalim na anyong-tubig. Maalat ang tubig nito. (Kabilang sa mga kilalang karagatan ay ang Karagatang Pasipiko, Karagatang Atlantiko, Karagatang Indian, Karagatang Artiko, at ang Karagatang Southern.)
• Dagat - Ang dagat ay malawak na anyong-tubig na mas maliit lamang ang sukat sa karagatan. Maalat ang tubig ng dagat sapagkat nakadugtong ito sa karagatan. (Nabibilang sa mga dagat sa Pilipinas ang Dagat Timog Tsina, Dagat Pilipinas, Dagat Sulu, Dagat Celebes, Dagat Mindanao at Dagat llapitan.)
• Ilog - isang mahaba at makipot na anyong tubig na umaagos patungong dagat. Nagmula ito sa maliit na sapa o itaas ng bundok o *burol.
• Look - Ang look ay anyong-tubig na nagsisilbing daungan ng mga barko at iba pang sasakyang-pandagat. Maalat din ang tubig nito sapangkat nakadugtong ito sa dagat o sa karagatan. (Ang Look ng Maynila, Look ng Subic, Look ng Ormoc, Look ng Batangas, at Look ng Iligan ay halimbawa ng mga look sa Pilipinas.)Ito ay parte ng isang Golpo
• Golpo - bahagi ito ng dagat.
• Lawa - isang anyong tubig na napapaligiran ng lupa.
• Bukal - tubig na nagmula sa ilalim ng lupa.
• Kipot- makitid na daang-tubig na nag-uugnay sa dalawang malaking anyong tubig tulad ng dagat o karagatan. May kabuuang 200 ang kipot sa Pilipinas dahil sa pagiging arkipelago nito.
• Talon - matarik na pagbaba ng tubig sa isang sapa
• Batis - ilug-ilugan o saluysoy na patuloy na umaagos.
