Climate & Vegetation Flooding Rains Important for Rice Crop Floods Bring Rich Sediment to Farmland Fields Flooded to Prevent Weeds & Vermin

Climate & Vegetation Deforestation Major Problem due to Agriculture and Population Growth

Archipelago Groups or Chains of Islands Usually Volcanic in Origin Indonesia (13,677 islands), Philippines (7,107) are Largest Examples Vulnerable to Earthquakes & Tsunamis because of Proximity to the Pacific Ring of Fire
