Amortization refers to spreading the cost of an intangible asset over its useful life. Depreciation refers to prorating the cost of a tangible asset over its estimated life. Intangible assets include patents, copyrights, and intellectual property. Tangible assets include land, buildings, equipment, and vehicles.

The same applies to depreciation of physical assets, as well other non-cash expenditures, such as increases in payables and accumulated interest expenses.
