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.
The Spaniards did not gain a foothold in the Philippines until 1565 when Miguel Lopez de Legazpi led an expedition, which built a fort in Cebu. Later, in 1571 the Spaniards landed in Luzon. Here they built the city of Intramuros (later called Manila), which became the capital of the Philippines.
