Countries are referred to as mainland countries to distinguish them from islands or territories that are not connected to a larger landmass.

What is the difference between an island and a mainland?

An island is a body of land completely surrounded by water. A mainland is a larger body of land surrounded by water. A mainland is the largest of the other islands. A mainland isn't determined by size, it's determined by size compared to other islands. For example; Hawaii is a mainland. Kauai is an island. This is because Hawaii is larger than Kauai. Depending on how you look at it, Hawaii would be an island, and North America would be the mainland.A mainland is an island, but an island isn't always a mainland.

What is the difference between tombolo from the peninsula?

I am not entirely sure, but I think it may have to do with the connecting mass. Tombolos are usually connected by a sandbar, which is more prone to geographical effects and can be more effected by waves and tides. Peninsulas are connected by more "solid" land masses such as solid ground that are not as prone to being shifted around. Also, peninsulas have to be connected to a mainland, whereas tombolos can be connected to other islands as well as a mainland.
