There is no difference. They are just two different names for the type of turtle.
There are at least 270 different species of turtle known to man. This includes freshwater turtles, tortoises, and sea turtles.
Leatherback sea turtles are reptiles, like all turtles and tortoises.
A turtle is bigger because tortoises are minnie
The main difference is that sea turtles are aquatic and have fins while tortoises are land based and have feet for walking instead of swimming.
They are different by the size and the colour of their shell and skin. They are also different from they eat.
A land turtle is a tortoise. A turtle is a sea turtle. A fresh water turtle is a terrapin. Tortoises, unlike turtles and terrapins, have flat feet that barely look like individual feet, but instead look more like they are fully part of the leg, much like an elephant's. Tortoises have a very sloped shell, where as the other turtles have much more flattened shells.
They (as well as tortoises, their close relatives in the reptile world) have protective shells. Turtle also live in the water, sometimes even the sea.
I only know one and that is a sea turtle I should them because I am from America!
Some sea turtles, such as adult green sea turtles, graze on seagrass. Land dwelling tortoises, called Galapagos Tortoises, grow to be 880 pounds and eat grass and other low growing vegetation.
Some tortoises have been known to live over 100 years but the average turtle lives about 30 (red eared slider) to 80 (sea turtles and box turtles).
