typoon in the Philippines incident and important details
Answers
Warm Waters
Philippines is situated above the equator and also, beside the Western Pacific Ocean. The equatorial, warm weather combined to water encourage tropical cyclones to form. Typhoons start to build up at 28°C (82.4°F) and the Western Pacific is normally at such degrees--hence the recurrent tropical cyclones in the country.
Illegal Logging
Sometimes, it’s not the rain that kills people in the Philippines during the rage of typhoons, but the landslides. There is no other reason to blame for this but deforestation. Hills that lack trees have fewer roots to keep the land intact. The heavy rains only make situations worse.
Coastal Homes
With the Philippines being surrounded by waters, about sixty per cent of population of the country are living in the low lying, coastal villages. This makes them the most susceptible to storm surges that are common (and deadly) during typhoons.
