Asian Peninsulas Quiz – Lands Reaching Into the Sea

Asia has some of the world's largest peninsulas. Arabia, India and Indochina form huge land masses with their own climates and cultures, while smaller peninsulas like Qatar and Sinai have played big roles in trade and politics.

Peninsulas often connect continents and seas. The Sinai links Africa and Asia, Anatolia bridges Europe and Asia and the Malay Peninsula guards the Strait of Malacca, one of the world's busiest shipping lanes.

Far in the northeast, Kamchatka and Chukotka are wild, remote lands of volcanoes, bears and reindeer herders, reached mostly by plane or ship rather than by road.
