Map of the Rome Empire

Question

Name three countries that are peninsulas? This is for 6th grade.

Answer 1

Hey Sofia!

Peninsula [from the Latin paene (almost) insula (island)] is a piece of land that is MOSTLY surrounded by water but still is connected to mainland on one side. If your assignment is about a specific map of the ROman Empire- make sure you check that map. On a typical map of the Roman Empire these three are peninsulas

1. Italia
2. Asia Minor
3. Hispania

Look at those three on the map and see how they are *mostly* surrounded by water

Hope this helps :)
