to the presence of
these natural

The Philippines
boast of many
different kinds of
natural water
forms.

of nature’s gift
to us
Where does
water in your
community
come from?
 You collect them
when the rain falls
or get them from
the river, deep well,
or spring.

 SOIL
FORMATION
 What is
weathering?
 Weathering
refers to a variety
of processes that
‘destroy’ rocks.
There are two
types of
weathering
Physical and
chemical
 Physical
weathering
processes leads
to the
disintegration of
It means that the
rocks are broken
down into smaller
and smaller
pieces.
3 ways of
physical
weathering
1. Ice wedging
2.Temperature
changes
3. Organic Activity
 Chemical
weathering
promote the
decomposition of
rocks
1. Oxidation
2. Hydrolysis
3. Dissolution
CLIMATE expressed as
both TEMPERATURE
and RAINFALL effects,
is often considered the
most powerful soil-
forming factor
TEMPERATURE
controls how fast
chemical
reactions occur.
 The important metallic
minerals found in various
parts of the Philippines
include COPPER, GOLD,
IRON, CHROMITE,
NICKEL, COBALT and
PLATINUM
The Philippines has also
varied nonmetallic
resources including
sand and gravel,
limestone, marble, clay
and other quarry
materials.
The Philippines is listed
th
as the 5 mineral
country in the world, 3 rd
th
in gold reserves, 4 in
th
copper and 5 in nickel.
 The richness of the
Philippines in terms of
mineral resources is
being attributed to its
location in the so-called
Pacific Ring of Fire.
