There are lots of types and sub-types of foundations.
* Slab. A flat slab of concrete is poured and the home is built atop it.
* Perimeter. A ring of thick concrete is poured into forms where the bearing walls of the building will later be built. Pier blocks are often used to support interior walls
* Concrete posts are set into the ground in key places around the foundation rim. The floor rests on these posts.
* Basement. This isn't a distinct type of foundation, but is noteworthy. A home with a basement typically puts the majority of its weight on massive concrete walls that extend 10 or more feet down. A slab between the basement walls helps stabilize the walls.
