Concrete block.
It weighs 59 lbs. There is a difference between a "real" cinder block and a concrete block. A cinder block uses cinders--ash from the burning of coal--as its aggregate. Concrete blocks are made from concrete. Concrete block is far stronger than is cinder block, and some jurisdictions prohibit the use of cinder block. The only justification for cinder block is that it weighs less than concrete block, which is important if the ground you're building on isn't strong enough to support a heavy structure. This justification has gone away, because now you can buy concrete block made from expanded-shale aggregate that's as light as cinder block and as strong as standard-weight concrete masonry.

yes--nearly all foundations are concrete.. either concrete block or solid concrete.

A brick is a solid block made from baked clay. A cinder block is a hollow block made from concrete
In India, there are standards for both hollow and solid concrete blocks. Standards include types of cement to be used and other materials added to the materials.

Concrete block.
Yes- because they are not a solid block of concrete- they are hollow with a large air space. The weight of the water displaced is greater than the weight of the hollow concrete hull, and it will float.
