Default [Snort-users] Difference of Alerts, Snort Logs, and Tcpdumps

I am new to snort and trying to upgrade a prior system. It appears that
the old system collects Alerts, Snortlog.log and Tcpdump.log, however
after reading the doc I am a little unclear on the meaning of these.
Are the snortlogs basically uncompressed versions of the tcpdumps? Also
are the alerts a condensation of the snort logs?
Thanks,
Fritz
