^^^^ The outside walls rest on a footer that's independent of the slab. The slab just sits on a bed of gravel, etc. though it can have grade beams or pads for walls, posts, etc. to sit on.

I usually install a drain system in every basement that's run to daylight in addition to the normal exterior drain and waterproofing. It's cheap insurance.
