i hope this make sense.

this is a great article, read that and play the animations, then at the bottom hit next to learn about the viscous differentials...... all questions will be answered

yeah, important thing to pay attention to is in different situations, how the different colored pieces move with relation to one another, as opposed to the whole picture
