Detailed Solution

A landmass bounded by sea on three sides is referred to as a peninsula. A piece of land can be classified into different forms based on its location and surroundings. A landlocked area has land masses surrounding all four sides. Water bodies surrounding land masses result in the formation of different landforms like islands, coasts, and peninsulas. For countries close to the sea, the portions of land open to these water bodies are termed the coast. It can be defined as a boundary between the waterbody and the land. For a country like India with oceans on all three sides of its southern part, it is named peninsula. This means a land almost surrounded by water, but not entirely. A piece of land in an ocean, sea, or river, with water surrounding all its sides, is termed an island.
