Why wheels of a battle tank move on a belt?
The belts are called tracks. Normal vehicles, with just wheels, tend to sink easily into the mud when off a paved road, and become stuck. All the weight of the vehicle is pressed into the ground at four relatively small areas, making those areas likely to be pushed deeply into mud by the weight of the vehicle. Even before WWI inventors had realized that spreading the vehicles weight with the use of tracks instead of wheels would keep the vehicle from becoming mired in the mud. These were called caterpillar tracks. In WWI this innovation was adopted for a new use, when battle tanks were invented. The wider the track, the better the vehicle is able to keep from sinking into the mud, but this was not really understood until WWII. The tracks use the same principle as snowshoes, developed by Eskimos, that look a little bit like tennis rackets. The snowshoes spread the weight of the foot over the top of the snow, keeping the foot from sinking into the snow. Most of the wheels on the side of a battle tank are there just to give support and shape to the tracks. These are called bogey wheels. Only the back wheels on either side are connected to the engine and supply power to the tracks. These back, drive wheels are cog wheels, geared, with teeth. These teeth fit into slots on the inside of the track to drive the tracks around.
