I haven\'t been able to fully grasp the differences. Can you describe both concepts and use real world examples?

Answer 1

The identifing relaionship means the child entity is totally depend on the existance of the parent entity. Example account table person table and personaccount.The person account table is identified by the existance of account and person table only.
