The diagram shows how concrete blocks are made.

Concrete blocks are produced by molding a mixture of cement, sand, gravel, and water into block shapes, and then allowing them to dry and harden.

First, cement, sand, gravel, and water are mixed together in a machine to form a thick mixture. Then, this mixture is poured into moulds to create the shape of the blocks.

Next, the blocks are pressed by a machine to make them strong and even. After that, they are removed from the moulds and left to dry.

Finally, the blocks harden over time and become ready for use in construction.
