It serve as terminal, particularly its
international Airport .

coastline that stretches for 1, 150 miles
the country boast for many theories.
 The Theories
in the
Formation of
the Philippines
There are two main theories on how the
formation of Philippine Archipelago was
Formed
 Volcanism Theory and Continental
Shelf Theory.
Volcanism
Theory
Volcanism Theory
 Dr. Balley Wills (1857- 1949). An
American geologist, believed that the
Philippines was formed through a
phenomenon called Volcanism
 Volcanism Theory
 The Findings were Further confirmed by
the fact that the Philippines is one of
the countries located in the Pacific Ring
of Fire.
Revolve
 Move in a circular orbit around.
Continental
Drift Theory
Philipine as a
TROPICAL
COUNTRY
Continental Shelf/Drift Theory
 According to the continental Drift
theory, the continent were formed
through diastrophism, the movement
of the solid part of the world.
 Because of the extreme movement of the outer rocky portion
of the Earth’s surface , the rapid rotation of the Earth caused
the huge continental divide.
 Eventually,continents formed. Over the time, some part of
the land of mainland Asia were separated from its causing the
archipelago to be formed like the PHILIPPINES.
 The Philippine is believed that land bridges once connected
the Philippines to mainland Asia. It is believed that the
Philippines was attached to Vietnam before.
