Answer 1

Philippines experience an average of 20 to 25 typhoons a year due to its geographical location.

• Because of its geographical location in the pacific belt, the area is susceptible to tropical cyclones.
• These cyclones typically produce excessive rains and flooding of massive areas and equally fierce winds, naturally resulting in heavy casualties of human life and ultimate destruction of cultivated crops and valuable properties.
• It encounters around 20 - 25 typhoons annually, out of which few are sometimes heavily damaging.
