Question 1 • World Geography (Full Year)

What are the Balkan and Italian Peninsulas?

Answer
A
areas of land nearly surrounded by water but connected to a larger landmass
B
narrow strips of land connecting two larger landmasses
C
small waterways connecting two larger bodies of water
D
parts of an ocean or sea that extend into a landmass and are partially surrounded by land

Explanation

A peninsula is an area of land surrounded by water on most sides but still connected to a larger landmass. Both the Balkan and Italian Peninsulas fit this definition, so choice A is correct. Narrow land strips connecting larger landmasses are isthmuses, while waterways and parts of seas extending into land are different features.
