As lime dissolves in the soil, calcium (Ca) moves to the surface of soil particles, replacing the acidity. The acidity reacts with the carbonate (CO 3) to form carbon dioxide (CO 2) and water (H 2 O). The result is a soil that is less acidic (has a higher pH).
The Japanese began to colonize the Philippines because they were  running out of space and resources. Their country is four big  islands that were recently formed by volcano â¦ es, meaning that they  have limited mineral and metal resources.
For several centuries there was no unifying power within the Philippine archipelago, as the islands were controlled by various sultans. Ferdinand Magellan arrived in 1521, and placed the islands under Spanish ruling. Colonization was quick to follow, and the first European settlements began to pop up in 1565.
