Peninsulas are landforms that are surrounded by water on three sides and joined to a larger landmass on one side. They do not typically join two or more separate landmasses.
Mexico is the country south of the US that has two peninsulas: Baja California Peninsula in the west and the Yucatan Peninsula in the east.
One example is the landmasses that used to be part of Pangaea, which eventually split into the continents we have today. Another example is the landmasses of North America and Europe, which were once connected by the supercontinent Laurasia but separated due to continental drift.
Two mountain ranges that occupy peninsulas are the Rocky Mountains in North America (connected to the Colorado Plateau) and the Western Ghats in India (running along the western edge of the Deccan Plateau).
The shape of a continent can influence ocean currents by directing their flow. For example, a narrow passage between two landmasses can funnel and accelerate ocean currents, while a broad continental shelf can slow down and disperse currents. Additionally, the presence of peninsulas, bays, and capes can create eddies and turbulence in ocean currents.
The two landmasses are South America and Africa. South America lies mostly within the tropical zone, while Africa extends from the tropical zone into the southern temperate zone.

There are two major peninsulas located in Alaska. These peninsulas include Seward Peninsula and Kenai Peninsula. Of these two peninsulas it is Kenai Peninsula that is located farther south.
Iberian, Italy, and the Balkan peninsula are the three peninsulas located in Southern Europe.
When two or more join together a polymer forms a molecule.

No. It is a gulf because it is delimited by two peninsulas. In this case, those are the Florida and Yucatan peninsulas.
