Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -A peninsula is a piece of land that is almost entirely surrounded by water but is connected to the mainland on one side. Peninsulas can be very small, sometimes only large enough for a single lighthouse, for instance.

Detailed explanation-2: -A peninsula can also be a headland, cape, island promontory, bill, point, or spit. A point is generally considered a tapering piece of land projecting into a body of water that is less prominent than a cape.

Detailed explanation-3: -A peninsula is a landmass surrounded by water on three sides and land on one side. The Indian Peninsula is surrounded by the Arabian Sea on the west, the Bay of Bengal on the east, and the Indian Ocean on the south.

Detailed explanation-4: -The creation of a peninsula is the result of erosion caused by the sea level pressing up against the land and slowly retreating over many years. Besides this, melting glaciers and an increase in tropical storms frequently result in land masses being surrounded by water on only a few sides, raising sea levels.

Detailed explanation-5: -1. Arabian Peninsula. The largest Peninsula in the world with 1, 250, 006 square miles area is Arabian Peninsula. Located in the Middle East, it includes seven countries such as Saudi Arabia, Oman, Qatar, Yemen, Bahrain, UAE, and Kuwait.
