The Great Peninsula is mainly formed by geological tectonic faulting, such as China's Liaodong Peninsula 、 Shandong Peninsula 、 Leizhou Peninsula Etc. In addition, as the sediment carried by the coastal sediment flow accumulates from land to island, or the island is eroded by sea waves, the debris material accumulates from island to land, gradually connecting the island to land, forming Continental island , such as Shandong Province, China Zhifu Island 。 In terms of distribution, the major peninsulas in the world are on the edge of the mainland.^[2]
