Differance between a tortoise and a turtle?

Answers:
Tortoises are the land dwellers that we know.
Turtles live in the ocean.
EDIT: Yes, not just in the ocean, also in freshwater.

Yes there is a huge difference.

---

Tortoise lives exclusively on land. Turtles live in the water, fresh and salt.

---

I believe the difference is that turtles can swim and tortiose are land animals. Not entirely sure.

---

Tortoises are terrestrial, turtles are aquatic (either fresh water or sea water).

A tortoise is mostly what you see, like where I live in desert, place a turtle is most comman with a area of water more! Tortoise, is a little more hard in schell, then a trutle! They have more of dark color of a brown and trutle has more color of a green tint!
