    WATER FORMS OF THE

    PHILIPPINES
    Presented by:
    Lugtu, Jhonric M.
    OCEAN
    This is the widest and largest body of water
    in the world. Huge sea vessels can travel
    here. There are five oceans in the world:

    Pacific Ocean ocean closest to the
    Philippines. This is also the largest
    ocean.
    Atlantic Ocean
    Southern Ocean
    Indian Ocean
    Arctic Ocean

    SEA
    The sea is salty. A lot of aquatic resources
    live in the sea. Examples of seas are the
    Philippine Sea and the South China Sea
    (which is the largest sea near the
    Philippines).

    LAKE
    A lake is a body of water surrounded by
    land. There are many lakes in the
    Philippines. Lake water is fresh, and some
    of the fish that you can find in Philippine
    lakes are hito (catfish), dalag, tilapia, and
    ayungin.
    Examples of lakes
    are: Taal Lake
    and Lanao Lake


    CHANNEL
    A channel is a wide body of water found
    between islands. This has to be crossed
    into order to move from one island to
    another.
    Examples of channels are: Babuyan
    Channel (found in
    northern Luzon),
    and Balintang
    Channel (separates
    Batanes from the
    Babuyan Islands)

    WATERFALL
    Waterfalls fall from a high place. Examples
    are: Tinago Falls (found in Iligan City),
    and Katibawasan Falls (found in
    Camiguin).

    BAY
    This serves as a harbor for sea-faring
    vessels in the Philippines. Passengers ride
    here, and goods can be loaded for transport
    to different places. Manila Bay is known
    for its beautiful sunsets.
    Examples are:
    Subic Bay, and
    Manila Bay.
    STRAIT
    This is a narrow body of water, which
    separates two large land forms. Examples
    are: San Juanico Strait which is found
    between Samar and Leyte. This is the
    narrowest strait in the Philippines.

    GULF
    This is part of the ocean, and can be found
    at the opening of the sea. This can be used
    as a port for sea vessels. You can also fish
    here.
    Examples: Lingayen Gulf found near
    Pangasinan, and
    Ragay Gulf found
    near Camarines
    Norte.

    RIVER
    The river is a wide body of water that flows
    towards the sea. It has fresh water, so
    fresh-water fishes are harvested from
    rivers.
    Examples of rivers are: Cagayan River
    (the longest and
    largest river in the
    Philippines), Pasig
    River (a river that
    can be seen in the
    city)

    STREAM or BROOK
    This is a small body of flowing water. The
    source is a spring.

    CREEK
    This is shallow and smaller than a stream.
    The water is used by farmers to irrigate
    their rice fields.

    SPRING
    This is the smallest body of water. The
    water come from beneath the ground, and
    can be either hot or cold. Hot springs can
    be found in areas near volcanoes.
    Examples: Bukal ng Bundok Makiling,
    Tiwi Hot Spring
