What are the three peninsulas in South Asia?
The three peninsulas in South Asia are:

1, Indian zhina Peninsula

Indochina Peninsula is a peninsula in Southeast Asia. Because it is located in the south of China, China translated it into Indochina Peninsula. Influenced by China and India in ancient times, it was called "zhina of India" internationally.

Indochina Peninsula lies between China and South Asian subcontinent, bordering the Bay of Bengal, Andaman Sea and Malacca Strait in the west and the South China Sea in the Pacific Ocean in the east. It is one of the three peninsulas in South Asia and a bridge between the East Asian continent and the islands.

Indochina Peninsula has a hot and humid climate and lush vegetation. The main rivers and mountains on the peninsula are all extended from China, so there is a saying that "the mountains are of the same vein and the water is of the same origin". Indo-China Peninsula has a long history of civilization, and its language is extremely complicated and distorted.

2. Indian Peninsula

The Indian Peninsula, also known as the Indian subcontinent (also known as the South Asian subcontinent or the Indo-Pakistan subcontinent), is a large peninsula-shaped land south of the Himalayas and a southern extension of the Asian continent. Generally located at 8-37 degrees north latitude and 6 1-97 degrees east longitude. Because it is cut off by the Himalayas, it forms a relatively independent geographical unit, but its area is smaller than the mainland in the usual sense, so it is called the subcontinent. ?

The total area is about 2.09 million square kilometers and the population is about 65.438+0.3 billion. Countries in the Indian subcontinent are generally located in the Indian plate, and some are located in South Asia. Among them, India, Pakistan, Bangladesh, Nepal and Bhutan east of the Indus River are located on the continental crust; The island country Sri Lanka is located on the continental shelf; The island country Maldives is located in the ocean crust.

3. Arabian Peninsula

The Arabian Peninsula is located in Asia, and Saudi Arabia, Yemen, Oman, United Arab Emirates, Qatar and Kuwait, Jordan, Iraq and Israel are all located in the Arabian Peninsula. Saudi Arabia is the largest. It extends from the middle east to the southeast to the Indian Ocean. With an area of about 3 million square kilometers, it is the largest peninsula in the world.

To the west, its borders with Africa are Suez Canal, Red Sea and Mande Strait. In the south, it extends to the Arabian Sea and the Indian Ocean. To the east, it faces Iran across the Persian Gulf and Gulf of Oman. Controlled by subtropical high and trade winds all the year round, almost the whole peninsula is a tropical desert climate zone with a large area of no-flow zone. There is a large amount of oil reserves around the Persian Gulf on the peninsula, which has brought great wealth to the Arabian Peninsula countries bordering the Persian Gulf.
