Off the top of my head I’ve have said one can live in water (the turtle) while the other (tortoise) lives on land. No doubt there’ll be a lot of subtle differences under those shalls to account for this.
Let me know if you want more details

Hiya Meg check out this web site then
http://www.diffen.com/difference/Tortoise_vs_Turtle
But some differnces include turtels have webed feet while tortoises often have claws to dig burrows, turtles have a flatter shell tortoises are more rounded, turtles are often omnivorous, eating plants, insects and fish while tortoise are mostly herbivorous eating grasses, flowers and weeds.

Karen my vote is yours! Do turtles have teeth?
Karen commented on :
Ah Meg you don’t know how happy that makes me feel – you’ve asked so many great questions you’ve really tested us – and you must be spending as long on here as we are.
As for teeth in turtles – they have more like horney rigdes instead of teeth.
