The wheel has enough power to turn fully in a circle which creates movement.  A road is a type of an inclined plane.  Screws are also used to fix things, and to join things together. Wheels are also used to make movement and to make things rotate.  Every device that has a spiral that and a cork screwing action is known as a screw.  A type of a wheel can be on a bike, car or motorcycle.  It helps the vehicles to move.  Which allows you to trade extra turning distance for reduced force to  lift things and to fasten things together.   An axle is known as a fulcrum.  An incine plane has enough power to turn in a circle.  There is a dot in the center to the end which is the axle.
