is the “drive belt” same as the serpentine belt?

[Adam]

My car is a 2015 Mazda 3, over 100,000 miles. I got maintenance and the mechanic mentioned that the drive belt is starting to crack. Is this the serpentine belt? He mentioned there are two belts, I’m assuming the other one is for the AC?

Seems to just be one belt for the accessory system. They have different names but same thing. Some cars will have two serpentine belts. Most newer ones dont. This car also has a timing chain setup.
