Crawling - when search engine bots find a new page added to internet then they visit them to fetch (to know what they are all about )them.
Indexing - While fetching the page if search bots find the content on the page relative or useful then they save (index) them in their memory and when somebody search for keywords related to that content then the search engines show the pages in their search results but the position (where will the pages be shown up in SERP) of your page depends on may other factors.

Is there any case a page is crawled but not indexed?
