Worm drives operate in shafts which are
- 90 degrees to each other and in a differing plane.
- 90 degrees to each other and in the same plane.
- parallel to each other and in the same plane.
Explanation
A worm and worm-wheel set transmits drive between shafts that are at right angles and that do not intersect, i.e. they lie in different (offset) planes. This non-intersecting right-angle arrangement is what distinguishes a worm drive from intersecting bevel gears.

Difference between axis and plane of gears?

Same as for propeller. It has axis of rotation about what it rotates and plane in which it rotates. Axis is perpendicular to the plane.
