Philippines
The Philippines is an archipelago of approximately 7,641 islands, with a total land area of about 300,000 square kilometers. The terrain is predominantly mountainous, with narrow coastal plains and valleys. The highest peak is Mount Apo on Mindanao, reaching 2,954 meters (9,692 feet) above sea level. Other notable mountains include Mount Pulag in Luzon and Mount Dulang-Dulang in Mindanao. The Sierra Madre mountain range, the longest in the Philippines, stretches along the eastern side of Luzon. The country is also home to several active volcanoes, such as Mayon, Taal, and Canlaon, contributing to its varied topography. The extensive coastline, measuring 36,289 kilometers (22,549 miles), features numerous bays, coves, and inlets, with Manila Bay being one of the finest harbors in East Asia. The Philippines' diverse landscape includes fertile plains like the Central Luzon plains, known as the "Rice Bowl of the Philippines," and the Cagayan Valley, which is the country's longest river system. The varied terrain has led to a rich biodiversity, with tropical rainforests providing habitats for numerous species. The country's location along the Pacific Ring of Fire makes it prone to earthquakes and volcanic activity, further shaping its dynamic landscape.
