12 Although the Philippines includes over 7,000 islands, the archipelago s total area is only 115,831 square miles (300,001 sq. km), about the size of Arizona. The islands that make up the Philippines together have a coastline that measures 22,554 miles (36,289 km). The two large islands of Luzon and Mindanao account for about 66 percent of the country s land area.
13 Peninsulas and Islands The collision of three tectonic plates millions of years ago produced the peninsulas and islands of Southeast Asia. Straddling the Equator, Southeast Asia has mountainous terrain with a predominately tropical climate. (pages )
14 Peninsulas and Islands (cont.) Mainland Southeast Asia About half of Southeast Asia s 11 countries are located on the mainland. Malaysia is both a mainland and an island country. Laos is the only landlocked country in the region. Space Bar to display the information. (pages )

16 Peninsulas and Islands (cont.) Island Southeast Asia Southeast Asia s island nations include Brunei, East Timor, Indonesia, Singapore, and the Philippines. Indonesia the largest island country in the region is made up of more than 13,500 islands that span 3,000 miles (4,827 km) and two oceans, the Indian and the Pacific. Singapore consists of one large island and 50 smaller ones. Space Bar to display the information. (pages )
17 Peninsulas and Islands (cont.) The Philippines is made up of more than 7,000 islands, 11 of which are home to 95 percent of the population. (pages )
18 Peninsulas and Islands (cont.) Why do you think so many of the region s islands are not settled? Possible answers: The small islands do not have resources to support populations; therefore, they are not developed. Some islands are too rocky and inhospitable. Space Bar to display the answer. (pages )
19 Physical Features Mountains Southeast Asia s many mountains create geographical and political boundaries. Some of them are active volcanoes, forming part of the Ring of Fire. Over time, mineral-rich volcanic material has broken down to provide farmers with rich, fertile soil. Space Bar to display the information. (pages )
20 Physical Features (cont.) Volcanoes of Indonesia and the Philippines Java, an Indonesian island, is one of the Ring of Fire s most active areas. It is home to 17 of Indonesia s 100 active volcanoes. In 1883, the eruption of Krakatau (Krakatoa) in Indonesia caused massive destruction and great loss of life. In 1991, the Philippines s Mount Pinatubo erupted, burying the surrounding area under a foot of mineral-rich volcanic ash. Space Bar to display the information. (pages )
21 Physical Features (cont.) Click the Speaker button to listen to the audio again. (pages )
22 Physical Features (cont.) Rivers Southeast Asians rely on waterways for transportation, communication, and food.
