What are the major differences and similarities between gear drive and chain drive?

They are similar in that both designs give longer service life compare to a belt driven camshaft and they do not need replacement within the expected life of the engine. They are different in that a chain driven camshaft is turned by a chain running off the crankshaft and a gear driven set up transmits the turning force from the crankshaft all the way up to the camshaft using gears alone.
A chain drive set up may have some sort of tensioning device for the chain that may occasionally wear out
