Answer 2

The correct answer is A. The landform located at number 1 on the map above is Baja California, and the landform located at number 4 is the Yucatan Peninsula.

Step-by-step explanation:

1- Baja California is a narrow peninsula in western Mexico of 1200 kilometers long and 80 to 220 kilometers wide. It lies parallel to the Mexican west coast and merges with the Mexican mainland at its northern end. On it lie the Mexican states of Baja California Sur and Baja California, which extend north across the Mexican mainland to the US state of California. The peninsula is bordered by the Pacific to the west and the Gulf of California to the east. The two coasts are very different.

4- Yucatan is a peninsula in North America that separates the Gulf of Mexico from the Caribbean Sea. The northern part belongs politically to Mexico, divided into the states of Yucatan, Campeche and Quintana Roo. The south belongs to Guatemala and Belize. The eastern coast of the peninsula is Cozumel, the largest island in Mexico.
