NO RECOVERY leaves the database in a state where further, additional, files may be restored. The database cannot be "used".

RECOVERY specifies that the restore is completed, and the database should be made ready for access as normal.

Typically a FULL backup, then optionally a DIFFERENTIAL backup, then each subsequent TRANSACTION backup file is restored in sequential order using the NORECOVERY option, and then when the final TRANSACTION backup file is restored that is done using the RECOVERY option

A google search is often faster than even Kristen in producing answers.
