The arrangement in both of them, glass and quartz make each of them different from each other.
The particles in glass have short-range order but in glass, the particles have both short-range orders and long range orders.
If quartz is heated and cooled rapidly, it can be converted to glass.

Answer:
The arrangement of the constituent particles differentiates glass from quartz. The constituent particles in glass have a short-range order, but the constituent particles of quartz possess both short range and long range orders.
Quartz is converted into glass by heating it and then rapidly cooling it.
