To properly format a quotation in a research paper using Chicago style block quotes, you should indent the entire quotation by 0.5 inches, use double spacing, and not include quotation marks. Additionally, the citation should be placed at the end of the quote in parentheses with the author's last name, publication year, and page number.

There might not be any difference at all... you are talking about a type of quotation (direct or paraphrased usually), and the way the quotation is presented (block or embedded usually). You could embed a direct quotation into your text, as in Sally cried "GET AWAY from me you idiot monster" and ran as quickly as she could, with the monster on her heels. That is a direct quotation of Sally, and it is embedded in the text, not taken out and put on a separate line or in a block quotation. An inderect or paraphrased quotation would be more like Sally, hilariously, insulted the monster's intelligence as she ran. That is a paraphrase of what Sally actually said. In a research paper, both kinds of quotations need to have citations, but this kind is in my own words, and doesn't directly quote Sally at all... just indirectly, with a paraphrase. The quotation, however, is still embedded in the text and on the same line as everything else. For a non-embedded quotation, in a normal paper you would take it out as a block quotation: GET AWAY from me you idiot monster! Your Mother was Grendel and your Father was Cookie Monster. You're the most dumb, idiotic, freaky, slimy, joke of a monster that I have ever seen! Stop chasing me! I am just trying to bring you your stupid dinner! Stop! You IDIOT! In this sort of a quotation, the entire quotation is removed from the other text and indented together (a block quotation). In published materials, sometimes quotations will be put into separate text boxes and the font size will be enlarged... same idea. The quotation isn't embedded into the text anymore, but is instead separated and more attention is called to it.
A quotation from a respected source or author could lend support to your discussion.

A block quote is a lengthy quotation that is set off from the main text by being indented from the left margin. Typically, block quotes are used when quoting more than four lines of text. You can identify a block quote in a paper by looking for the large indentation and no quotation marks around the quoted text.
A block quote in a paper is a direct quotation that is indented from the main text and usually longer than three lines. It is significant in academic writing because it helps to highlight important information or provide evidence from a source, while also showing respect for the original author's words.
