What is the difference between orthodox and byzantine churches?

Some byzantine churches are Orthodox. And some Orthodox churches are byzantine.
Other than that, there's no difference.
There are Roman Catholic churches which follow the byzantine form of worship, since they ceased being Orthodox in the 1400-1700s but retained their liturgical practices. And there are plenty of Orthodox parishes which have never followed byzantine norms for worship (Russian, for example, or in some places, Western Rite, especially when an entire Anglican or Roman Catholic congregation has become Orthodox).
If you hear someone generically refer to "THE Byzantine Church," they are probably referring generically to the Orthodox Church, giving credence to its roots in Greek thought, culture, and language.

Is it true or false Byzantine Church art and architecture was limited to the geographical areas of present day Turkey and Italy?
No it is untrue. For a start the term Byzantine Church is only applicable to architecture and the church of this empire was the Orthodox Church. Byzantine churches were built all over this empire. The Orthodox church had (and still has) the patriarchates of Constantinople (although it is now Istanbul and in Turkey, at that time it was in Greece) Alexandria (Egypt) Antioch (Syria), Jerusalem (Palestine) and Rome (Italy) and all of these cities had Byzantine Cathedrals. The Balkan Peninsula had many Churches. Not many churches of that time have survived. In Athens there is still the Church of the Holy Apostles built around the 10th century. There were also Byzantine monasteries, the most stunning of which is the cluster of 20 monasteries on Mount Athos, near Thessaloniki (Greece). Byzantine church architecture spread beyond the Byzantine Empire and reached Bulgaria and Ukraine when these converted to Orthodox Christianity. In Sofia There still is the Church of St. George Rotunda. In Kiev there was the Church of the Tithes or Church of the Dormition of the Virgin, which was built between 989 and 996 and was destroyed by the Mongols in 1240, and the Holy Sophia Cathedral which was built in 1037 and still stands. Byzantine churches spread from Ukraine to Russia.
