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.
the difference is that the upper peninsula is up and the lower peninsula is low
At the most basic level one is land and the other water
Tombolo's are ridges of sand and shingle which join the mainland to an island. Tombolo's are created through the process of longshore drift. Where there is a change in the shape of the land, a spit forms in the shallow / sheltered water. A tombolo is formed where the spit continues to grow until it reaches an island, forming a link with the mainland

A tombolo
a tombolo is a spit that joins the mainland to an island

A peninsula has an isthmus connecting it to land where a cape doesn't.
Peninsula - is the land that surrounded by water.Archipelago - is a group of island.
An ape is an animal and a peninsula is piece of land that sticks out into the sea.
The difference between a cape and a peninsula is a peninsula is almost entirely surrounding by water. A cape is an area of land that has just one part that juts into the sea.
Yes, there is a difference between an isthmus and a tombolo. An isthmus is a narrow strip of land connecting two larger landmasses, while a tombolo is a deposition landform that connects an island to the mainland by a sandy bridge. In essence, an isthmus links two separate landmasses, whereas a tombolo connects an island to a mainland.
A peninsula is surrounded by water on all but one side.
