La Union
La Union’s topography is predominantly hilly, gradually rising eastward from its coastal plains. The province’s physiography can be classified into four primary surface configurations: coastal plains, coastal hills, broad interior valleys, and mountain ridges with narrow valleys. These landforms have been shaped by coral alluvium (sand and clay) deposited by flowing water.
