Why is the Philippines Prone to Typhoons and Earthquakes?

The Philippines is prone to earthquakes and typhoons because it’s a tropical

country and the weather is fine.
The Philippines is in a large Pacific Ocean region where many of Earth’s
volcanic eruptions and earthquakes occur. This is known as the Ring of Fire
(aka Typhoon Belt). The Western Pacific Ocean region (where most typhoons
come from) is located east of the Philippines and since the weather system
travels from east to west, it has plenty of time and area to gather water
evaporation on its way to the country. There are approximately 20-25 typhoons
that hit the Philippines every year.
Global warming (warmer seas) plays a part in the intensity of the storms we’ve
seen in the past few years.
It is a country surrounded by moist air, so the typhoon can feed on that. The
typhoon also needs cold air. Once these are together, the air spins in circles.
The typhoon is then formed. All the things that a typhoon needs are provided in
and around the Philippines, resulting in several typhoons a year.
 5 Reasons the Philippines Is So Disaster Prone
1. Warm Ocean Waters- "It has the warmest ocean temperatures in the world.
We call it the warm pool around Indonesia and the Philippines"
2. Coastal Homes- A lot of people live on low-lying coastal islands in the
Philippines, with more than 60 percent of the population living in coastal zones
3. Deforestation- In the past typhoons, mudslides have killed many storm
survivors in the Philippines. Hillsides denuded of trees have fewer roots to hold
them together, which can lead to mudslides when they are hit by sudden huge
outbursts of rain.
4. Ring of Fire- On top of everything else, the Philippines rests on the Pacific’s
earthquake and volcano Ring of Fire. Driven by the Pacific's Ocean's crust
diving underneath the continents, the result is earthquakes and tsunamis striking
the Philippines with regularity.
5. Underdevelopment- The young, poor population of the Philippines has
increasingly shifted to coastal regions, where rapidly constructed housing and
inadequate evacuation plans may have played a role in the Haiyan disaster.
