9. BODIES OF WATER
• The occurrence of the monsoon is the
results of the interactions of these
landmasses and bodies of water with
the atmosphere.
• Bodies of the water that surround the

15. WATERSHED
-- come in all shapes and sizes.
-- are not just water. It may include
combination of forest, grassland marshes
and other habitats.
16. Some factors that will affect the
amount of water in watersheds
a. Vegetation Cover
b. Slope of the Area
c. Kind of Soil
d. Amount of rainfall
e. Temperature
17. Main Functions of a Watershed
1. The production of a continuous water
supply that would maintain the life
forms within it and in the area fed by
its stream.
2. Moderate temperature.
