120°S.
4. No. There is no landmass at location 30°N, 150°W.
5. c (use to meet their needs)
6. a (renewable)
7. a (temperature and rainfall)
8. a (cotton and leather)
9. a (It takes a very long time to produce them)
10. Any three of the following: geothermal energy (we have large deposits
because of the presence of many volcanoes); hydrothermal energy (we
have abundant rain that can be stored in dams and rivers and other bodies of
water); wind energy (many places have strong winds with a speed of more
than 20 km per hour); solar energy (we have lots of sunshine all year round);
biogas (organic waste can be converted to fuel)

2. Trees: Avoid cutting trees all over the place (indiscriminately).
3. Soil: Plant trees (reforestation) to reduce soil erosion.

Resources in water:
1. Fish: Reduce or avoid too much use of fertilizers that may be
washed into lakes and streams.
2. Water: Do not throw waste of any kind into bodies of water.
3. Corals: Reduce soil erosion that may lead to siltation. (Too much

14. Relationship between the presence of minerals in the Philippines with any
geologic structure:
Yes, metallic mineral deposits are found near volcanic areas or in
trenches; metals concentrate there when magma circulates under the
Earth

15. Relationship between our latitude position and the high diversity of life forms
in the country:
Yes, the Philippines is near the equator where there is sunshine all
year round and rainfall is abundant. Water is needed by all living
things; sunlight is needed by plants to manufacture food and provides
the right temperature for humans, plants and animals to grow and
reproduce.
