The continent of South America forms a peninsula
Answers
Answer:
South America is not called a peninsula because it is a continent. A peninsula is an extension of land projecting into a body of water so therefore is surrounded on three sides by the water. If it was surrounded on four sides by water it would be an island or a continent.That's a very uninformed & insensitive proposition.
South America is a giant landmass.
It's only the tail at the very tip that is a considered a penninsula.
But only where it's not wide enough to have four different climate zones extending East to West.
