BODY OF WATERIs any significant accumulation of water, generally

on a planet's surface. The term most often refers to oceans, seas, and lakes, but it includes smaller pools of water such as ponds, wetlands, or more

rarely, puddles. A body of water does not have to be still or contained; Rivers, streams, canals, and

other geographical features where water moves from one place to another are also considered bodies of

water.

Stream in Bicol

A body of water with a detectable current, confined within a bed and banks.

Loboc River, Bohol

A natural waterway usually formed by water derived from either precipitation or glacial melt water, and flows from higher ground to lower

ground.

Lake Taal

A body of water, usually freshwater, of relatively large size contained on a body of land.

Sulu Sea

A large expanse of saline water connected with an ocean, or a large, usually saline, lake that

lacks a natural outlet such as the Caspian Sea and the Dead Sea. In common usage, often

synonymous with ocean.

Hamorawon Spring in Samar

A point where groundwater flows out of the ground, and is thus where the aquifer surface

meets the ground surface.

Maria Cristina Falls

A waterfall is a place where water flows over a vertical drop in the course of a stream or river.

Pacific Ocean

A major body of salty water that, in totality, covers about 71% of the Earth's surface.

LANDFORMS

 Is a natural feature of the Earth's surface. Landforms together make up a given terrain, and their arrangement on the landscape or the study of same is known as topography. Typical landforms

include hills, mountains, plateaus, canyons, valleys, as well asshoreline features such as bays, peninsulas, and seas, including submerged features such as mid-ocean ridges, volcanoes, and the greatocean basins.

Mt. Apo in Cotabato

 Is a large landform that stretches above the surrounding land in a limited area, usually in the

form of a peak.

Chocolate Hills in Bohol

Is a landform that extends above the surrounding terrain.

Central Luzon Plains

A plain is a flat area. Plains occur as lowlands and at the bottoms of valleys but also on plateaus or uplands at high elevations.

Bukidnon Plateau

 Is an area of highland, usually consisting of relatively flat terrain that is raised significantly above the surrounding area, often with one or

more sides with steep slopes.

Mayon Volcano in Albay

 Is a rupture in the crust of a planetary-mass object, such as Earth, that allows

hot lava, volcanic ash, and gases to escape from a magma chamber below the surface.

Cagayan Valley
