Does deploying a contract mean create a new block in blockchain

+1 vote
I am using the Ethereum network to deploy a smart contract. The contract is written in Solidity and I am using Remix IDE to deploy and test. I am using a testing network at the moment.

What I don't understand is that when I deploy a smart contract to the Ethereum network, does it create a new block on the blockchain? My contract may send transactions to different accounts when it is running. Whether this transaction is inside the block of the smart contract? Once I deploy the contract, it should be running inside the network. Whenever there is a method call on the contract, does it always generate a transaction in the block?

live networks - Nope
emulators - Yes

There's a difference between a transaction (read-write) and a call (read-only). For transactions, see above. Read-only calls are not mined at all (so they are free), and they are only invoked on the machine of your node provider (or in the emulator).
