Step-by-step explanation:

Europe is apart of Eurasia; it is the western part of that landmass and it stretches so it is considered a peninsula. Because it is a continent, it contains peninsulas inside of it such as the Balkan Peninsula, Iberian Peninsula, Italian Peninsula, and the Scandinavian Peninsula.
