Philippine Mountains
The Philippine Mountains are a series of mountain ranges located throughout the Philippines, an archipelago in Southeast Asia. These mountains are primarily volcanic in origin, formed by tectonic activity along the Pacific Ring of Fire. The highest peak is Mount Apo, which stands at 2,954 meters and is found on the island of Mindanao.
These mountains are home to diverse ecosystems and rich biodiversity, including many endemic species. The rugged terrain and varying climates create unique habitats, making the Philippine Mountains important for conservation efforts. They also play a crucial role in the local culture and economy, providing resources and recreational opportunities.
