A clay that loses nearly all of its shear strength after being disturbed is called a(n) sensitive clay.
Clay is a material similar to natural earth but fine grain. The meaning of the word clay is "sticky". The slip is a clay in liquid suspension used as a binding agent, as enamel for stoneware and electrical insulators or slip sheets are used in decoration.Clays may be described as sensitive when the undisturbed strength is greater than the disturbed (remoulded) strength, where the remoulded material can behave as a fluid.
Sensitivity is defined as the ratio of the undisturbed shear strength and the disturbed shear strength.Clay soil has a thick and swooping composition. Blackland prairies have a unique characteristic of black and heavy clay soils because of the marine chalks, limestones, and shale that are found in its composition. When soils reach major rivers and tributaries its compositions changes into a more sandy soil

Answer:
1.- b. when the Moon is at right angles to the direction of the Sun.
2.-b. when the Moon is directly opposite the position of the Sun.
3.-b. when the Moon is closer to the Sun than the Earth is.
Explanation:
- The First Quarter Moon is when we can see exactly half of the Moon's surface illuminated. If it is the left or right half, it depends on where you are on Earth. If we observe the diagram I added we can see than <em>the moon is at right angles to the direction of the Sun</em> when it's in this phase.
- Full Moon happens when<em> the Moon is on the opposite side of the Earth from the Sun</em>, this makes the bright side of the Moon face the Earth. This is also observable in the diagram.
- The New Moon always occurs when <em>the Moon is between the Earth and the Sun, therefore it's closer to the Sun than the Earth</em>, the bright side of the Moon is facing away from the Earth. You can check this in the diagram as well.

Substinence farming is farming food that is just enough to live off of. You don't sell substinence crops.
Commercial farming is growing food to sustain you, and having enough left over to sell.
In both, you grow food and you keep some (or all) for yourself.
