After Ice Age, the temperature and climatechanged.Forrest grewDevelopment of new species of plants andanimals

The decrease of water level by 200 meters would ineffect show that the Philippines is a part of the biggerland mass Asia.Borneo, Palawan and MindoroLuzon would be connected (literally) with Samarand Leyte

Bohol, Cebu, Negros and Panay would become thebigger islands.

The environment
