PERFORMANCE TASK #4

CORON PALAWAN

Coron limestones were formed 260 million years ago as a coral reef along the
length of Southeast Asia and was part of the China Continental Crust. It was
later drafted to its present location north of Palawan by tectonic movements.
They were uplifted by tectonism some 30 million years ago and then
extensively eroded by waves and monsoon rains to create its present unique
“karst” topography. These limestone crops rise dramatically as cathedral-like
formations more 400 meters above sea level.
