Environment is an ecological community or the complex of physical, chemical and biotic factors that act upon an organism and ultimately determine its form and survival.(The Editors of Encylcopedia Britannica,2014).

Meanwhile in Zamboanga City, Philippines, a mysterious sink hole had caused frightening and inducing threat to the locals due to soil erosion in 50 meter and unknown depth suddenly emerged. Some environmentalists said that the hole was a “sink hole” while others said it was “soil erosion” at the bottom of the sea. They revealed that a diver tried to investigate the phenomenon at the round hole but failed to reach the bottom of the hole.
