	Rice Terraces Of The Philippine Cordilleras
		The Rice Terraces of the Philippine Cordilleras were painstakingly carved from the harsh terrain by Ifugao tribes people using primitive tools and bare hands more than 2,000 years ago.
		Due to the diligence of Cordilleras tribes people, who have passed their rice paddies to each family’s oldest son from generation to generation, the terraces have survived into the 21st century.
		However, younger generations in the Cordilleras, which is among the poorest regions of the Philippines, don’t feel the need to farm rice, earning money instead as tour guides or mini bus drivers.

		From this point the line crosses the Cordillera Real through the valley of the San Juan del Oro to Suches Lake, follows the Cololo and Apolobamba ranges to the headwaters of the Sina river, and thence down that stream to the Inambari.
		Between these and the Cordillera Oriental is an apparently confused mass of broken, intersecting ranges, which on closer examination are found to conform more or less closely to the two outside ranges.
		On the west side of the Cordillera, which extracts the moisture from the prevailing easterly winds, the elevated plateaus have a limited rainfall in the north, which diminishes toward the south until the surface becomes absolutely barren.

		That portion between the eastern front of the Cordilleras and the sea may be primarily conceived as an elongated plain.
		The plain is rudely comparable to a wide, low stairway, leading upward from the sea to the Cordilleras, in which the various subdivisions of the plain represent the treads, local escarpments the risers, and the limiting mountains the balustrades.
		This analogy can not be carried far, for great irregularities occur in the width and tread of the steps, and the wear and tear of time has scarred and disfigured their relief, etched valleys where the drainage depressions have crossed the plains, and lowered the mountain walls.

		Estos datos ayudaron a los geólogos a diseñar planos longitudinales que muestran que las placas son delgadas en las cordilleras que se extienden, y que la subducción alcanza largas distancias, llevando las placas a profundidad debajo de los continentes.
		Al contrario, las erupciones volcánicas que existen en las cordilleras que se extienden son mucho mas suaves, en parte porque la mayoría de estas erupciones están debajo de 2-3 kilómetros de agua, pero también porque el magma es menos viscoso.
		Estos límites se caracterizan por: a) una zanja oceánica muy profunda al lado de una cordillera continental montañosa alta, b) numerosos terremotos que progresan de lo poco profundo a lo profundo, y c) un gran número de volcanes de composición intermedia.
