beautiful island. These mountains have been formed from a dark grey limestone‚ which has formed in the Late Oligocene - Early Miocene - some 16 - 20 million years ago. The highest summit is the 1‚027 m tall Mount Saint Paul. The thick layer of limestone is dissolved by the torrential rains‚ characteristic for the wet climate of the western Palawan. Intense karst processes have created dramatic landscape with countless sharp limestone pinnacles‚ domes‚ sinkholes‚ shafts and - impressive caves. Since

expands‚ turning into a new compound but a more vulnerable one. For example‚ calcium sulphate absorb in water to become gypsum. Besides‚ solution and carbonation dissolve soluble minerals in pure water or acid rain. For example‚ calcium carbonate in limestone is easily dissolved by carbonic acid (rainwater dissolves carbon dioxide) or acid rain ( rainwater dissolves sculpture dioxide). Calcium carbonate is then removed from the rocks in solution. Apart from weathering‚ water acts on the mass movement

rocks such as limestone and dolomite (although recent discoveries have revealed karst formations in more resistant rocks such as quartz‚ but are rare) and the reason for this is connected to the underlying processes. The two chief processes responsible for the weathering of rocks are physical weathering and chemical weathering‚ but it chemical weathering that is particularly present in soluble rocks (Christopherson 2012). Around 25% of the earth’s surface is composed of limestone and almost 15%

maintaining a height just below sea level. Eventually the reef was hundreds of feet thick and one to four miles across. Behind the reef‚ on the tidal flats and in the lagoon behind them‚ limestone and occasional sandstone sheets were deposited at about the same rate the reef was growing. On the seaward side‚ chunks of limestone broke away and tumbled down from the steep seaward face of the growing reef. These broken pieces of rock formed an underwater talus slope or rubble pile.
