The illustration provided displays the various steps of the process by which bricks are produced,
packaged, and ultimately distributed.
Overall, this is a multi-stage man-made process that begins with the extraction of natural resources and
ends with the packaging and distribution of bricks.
To begin, large machines called diggers are used to extract clay from the earth. The clay is then placed
by diggers onto a metal grid, which sifts out larger particles and then rolls the remaining fine clay into a
mixture of sand and water. At this point, the mixture is either placed into moulds or into a machine
which uses a wire cutter to produce bricks of a standard size. Following this, they are placed into a
drying oven for as many as two days.
Once dry, the unbaked bricks are placed into a kiln, baked initially at lower temperatures, then higher
temperatures, and then allowed to cool in a chamber for two to three days. Once adequately cooled,
they are packaged on pallets, which are then loaded onto delivery trucks for distribution.
