difference between depth and perspective?

whats the difference? I was looking at photos on google for ideas as have to create a page on each, but a lot of pics were in both. is there a way of defining which one it is?
also I know about forced perspective just what about general photos
thank you!

The word "depth" can have several meanings depending on how the word is being used. "Depth" can refer to "depth of field" for instance, or one could say a photo, "has great depth".

Perspective is a little easier. Perspective is all about displaying three dimensional objects on a two-dimensional surface in such a way as to give the viewer a correct impression of their height, width, depth, and position in relation to one another when viewed from a particular point. That's a pretty technical way of saying, "How things look from where we're standing."
