Geography
The
Philippine archipelago consists of 7,107 colourful tropical islands
with a total land area of 296,912 square kilometers. Among the islands
more than half are unnamed, only about 1,000 are inhabited, and only
462 are a square mile or larger. The islands are loosely divided into
three island groups, Luzon in the north, Visayas in the middle and Mindanao
in the south. Other major islands are Mindoro and Palawan. The Visayan
islands are forming the heart of the Philippines, the most well-known
of them are Samar, Cebu with Cebu City, with more than one million inhabitants
the second biggest city of the country, Negros, Panay with Boracay,
Leyte and Bohol with the famous Chocolate Hills.
The islands of the Philippines lie along a zone of violent earthquakes
and volcanic activities, and many of the islands
are mainly tops of huge undersea mountains formed by volcanic flows
thrust up from the floor of the Pacific.
