360 degree turn in figure skating called?

If you mean a jump, it could refer to any of the 360 degree rotation jumps (single salchow, toe-loop, loop, flip, or lutz). If you mean a turn without leaving the ice it could be a single rotation twizzle (a turn that rotates and travels down the ice continuously on one foot) or, if it's on two feet: a turn that is generally referred to simply as a "360". Hope this answered your question.

Is figure skating and ice skating different?

Speed skating is based on skating for speed, not style. Figure skating is the opposite, as it skates for style and not always speed.

Speed skating requires:

-Longer blades than artistic skaters

-the objective is to go fast, not to impress the judges

Figure skating:

-based on competing in a number of levels and elements

-consists of jumps, spins and footwork

-artistry and difficulty are considered when judging

-higher cut boot

-regular length blade, but with a toe pick and edges
