Earth
Processes

Presented by: Ma. Karyl Ashrivelle M. Carreon

Goal:
✓ learn geological methods on how to determine changes in
the landscape of the Earth.

✓ understand how endogenic and exogenic processes

shape the Earth and how the present environment affects

these processes.

✓ determine which hazards should be observed based on

the geomorphology of the location.
Location :
JOVELLAR ALBAY
 Legazpi City, Albay
specifically Jovellar Albay

The province of Albay in the Bicol region is known for being home to the iconic Mayon
Volcano, one of the most beautiful volcanoes in the Philippines and the most active one as
well. Its capital, Legazpi City, is the gateway to the top tourist attractions in the province of
Albay and other tourist spots in the Bicol region including destinations like Sorsogon.

Albay, the second largest province in the Bicol region, is located at the southern tip of the
Luzon island region, about 500KM from Manila, the capital of the Philippines. On the
Philippine map, Albay is located on the eastern coast of the Philippines, facing the Philippine
Sea and the Pacific Ocean. This mountainous province with vast farming lands is one of the
most visited tourist spots in Luzon because of the beautiful view of Mayon Volcano.

 Geomorphology
Jovellar is located at 13°04′N 123°36′E. According to the Philippine Statistics
Authority, the municipality has a land area of 105.40 square kilometres (40.70 sq
mi) [5] constituting 4.09% of the 2,575.77-squarekilometre- (994.51 sq mi) total area
of Albay.

Jovellar is a landlocked municipality in the coastal province of Albay.

The municipality has a land area of 105.40 square kilometers or 40.70 square miles
which constitutes 4.09% of Albay's total area. Its population as determined by the
2020 Census was 17,795. This represented 1.29% of the total population of Albay
province, or 0.29% of the overall population of the Bicol Region. Based on these
figures, the population density is computed at 169 inhabitants per square kilometer
or 437 inhabitants per square mile
Topography
Jovellar, officially the Municipality of Jovellar (Central Bikol: Banwaan kan Jovellar;
Tagalog: Bayan ng Jovellar), is a 4th class municipality in the province of Albay,
Philippines. According to the 2020 census, it has a population of 17,795 people.
The town was named in honor of Spanish governor-general Joaquín Jovellar y Soler.
Main access to the town is via Guinobatan. Jeepneys ply the 16-kilometre (9.9 mi)
distance from Guinobatan to Jovellar daily with the first trip from Guinobatan
leaving as early as 5 AM and the last trip to Jovellar usually at around 5 PM.
Jovellar's main industry is agriculture. Primary crops are rice, copra, abaca, and
corn. Quipia River runs through the town and the river leads all the way to Donsol in
Sorsogon. Tourist activities in the area may include a trip to the river just behind the
local school or a trip to Pariaan pool. Once at the town center, one can find a statue
of the national hero, Jose Rizal, and the town church in front of it.
 Climate

The simulated weather data have a spatial resolution of approximately and may not reproduce all local weather
effects, such as thunderstorms, local winds, or tornadoes, and local differences as they occur in urban, mountainous,
or coastal areas. There are two types of climates in the city. The kind that dominates the west coast has two distinct
seasons: six months dry (July-December) and six months wet (January-June), with the largest rainfall reported in
September and the lowest or driest month in February. This category includes the city's western barangays
(Bagacay,Cabraran,Villa Paz). The kind that predominates on the east coast has a brief dry season with fluctuating
periods of significant rainfall. During the months of January to April, no rain has been reported. September is the
wettest month on record
 Limestone Karst
Karst topography is
formed by the
dissolution of soluble
rocks such as
limestone, dolomite,
and gypsum.
 How its morphology affect the formation of its
landforms and bodies of water?
The karstification of a terrain can result in a range of large- and small-scale surface and subsurface
phenomena underneath it runnels, solution flutes or rillenkarren, and limestone pavement clints and grikes
are all parts of the limestone pavement system. On exposed surfaces, karren or lapiez, sometimes known
as karren or lapiez, can be discovered. Vertical sinkholes or cenotes closed basins shafts, foibe, inverted
funnel-shaped sinkholes, disappearing streams, and reappearing springs are instances of disappearing
streams and reappearing springs. Surface phenomenon of a medium size. Large-scale limestone
pavements, poljes, and karst valleys are examples of large-scale limestone pavements phenomenon. In
mature karst areas, karst towers or haystack/eggbox landscapes can occur. The bedrock has been
degraded, but it still exists. Subterranean drainage systems such as karst aquifers and complex
subterranean drainage systemsMassive cave and cavern systems could emerge beneath the surface.
Erosion along limestone coastlines, especially in the tropics, results in karst topography with a high incline
makatea has a surface that rises over the sea's normal reach, as well as undercuts that are essentially the
result of the sea's normal reach. At or slightly above mean sea level, there is biological activity called
bioerosion calcium carbonate dissolved in the water may release some of its dissolved carbon dioxide
where the water discharges part of its dissolved carbon dioxide precipitate. Tufa terraces are built up of
layers of calcite created by rivers that erupt from springs in the long run. Speleothems are a group of
cave characteristics created by calcium carbonate deposition and dissolved minerals.
