Lakes in the Philippines
Encyclopedia
The origin of most of the lakes in the Philippines is closely related to volcanic
and seismic
activity. A number of smaller lakes occupy the craters
of extinct volcanoes. Some lake basins are developed by subsidence
resultant upon plate tectonics
or volcanic activity. Others owe their existence to obstruction of drainage courses by landslides, lava flows and by fragmental volcanic ejecta.
Among the lakes which are known in the Philippines only three, namely, Laguna de Bay
in Luzon, Taal Lake
in Luzon, and Lake Lanao
in Mindanao, stand out prominently because of their size or economic importance.
