Philippines
Archipelago of 7,107 islands
Known as the country with the 5th longest coastline in the world
Bordered by the Philippine sea to the east, South China Sea to the west and with the Celebes Sea to the North.
Mountainous islands mainly consist of tropical rain forests

Climate
Tropical Maritime Climate
Three seasons:
tag-init (hot dry)- Happens around March – May
tag-ulan (rainy)- Happens around June – November
tag-lamig (cool dry) – Happens around December- February

Wildlife and Environment
Around 1,100 land vertebrae species
100 mammals & 170 bird species found only in the Philippines
Endemic species:
The Tamaraw of Mindoro
The Visayan Spotted Deer
Philippine Mouse Deer
Visayan Warty Pig
Philippine Flying Lemur
Lacks large predators, except:
Snakes – Pythons, cobras, saltwater crocodiles and prey birds

Birds
Have large beaks to loose more heat
Can Afford to have large beaks than birds in temperate regions
Different sized beaks allow for different adaptations according to use.
Toucan- cutting up pieces of fruits and nuts
Philippine Eagle- hooked beaks to tear small prey apart

Factors: Abiotic and Biotic
![Page 9: Katherine chen extra credit presentation-1](https://reader033.vdocuments.mx/reader033/viewer/2022060200/5598a72c1a28ab8e638b4735/html5/thumbnails/9.jpg)
Abiotic Factor
Warm Sunlight- photosynthesis Light is the main source of energy
Most of he sunlight is absorbed by the upper canopy
Photosynthesis- plants uses chlorophyll to change energy from sunlight into chemical energy
Water- affects living animals, plants Greater than 80 inches of rain each year
Transpiration- Loss of water through parts of the plant (leaves, stems, roots)
Climate Control: 20-34 degrees Celsius
Precipitation- The correct amount of rain
Temperature and Soil Soil is shallow and thin- few nutrients and soluble minerals
Nutrients are largely found in roots and leaves of living plants and decomposing vegetation on the forest floor

Transpiration

Temperature & Climate
Normal range is 93-68 degrees
High constant temperature increases the rate of evaporation and keeps humidity high
Warm temperatures – quick growth
Animals

Biotic Factors
Factors that is living in a biome (plant or animal)
Producers- uses photosynthesis to create it’s own food
Consumers
Primary- consumes plants
Secondary- consumes meat
