How peninsula are formed?
peninsulas are formed when waves start hitting a section of rock on the coastline that is not as easilly eroded as the rock around it. Over time it starts to stick out as a headland and if that process continues for enough years, the waves hitting the headland will start to curve around the sides and begin eroding the softer rock behind.

What happens to a metamorphic rock when its weathered?
Weathering of existing rock is the first step in the formation of most sedimentary rock, providing the sediment which will eventually be eroded, deposited, compacted and cemented together.
