You seem to be comparing apples and Oranges here. They have different applications and for the most part are not interchangeable. However, comparing chains to belts, chains have typically lower energy loss, and require less tension than belts. However belts are often lighter, and can be designed to 'absorb' impact loads (like a hard hitting clutch locking, creating a sudden peak in force that would normally be transferred through the entire drive train, but instead can be 'absorbed' by the stretch of the belt and released over a longer time as a lower force). Belts also have lower lifespans.

How do gears and pulleys work together?

Gears and pulleys both use rotational motion to transmit power. Gears have toothed wheels that mesh together to transfer torque, while pulleys use belts or ropes running around their circumference to transfer motion. By combining gears and pulleys in a mechanical system, you can achieve different speed and torque ratios to suit specific needs.
