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

I believe The answer is B. Hope this Helps :)
A property of fine-grained clastic rocks is that they are easily eroded.
<h3>Why are these rocks easily eroded?</h3>
Fine-grained clastic rocks have small fragments and grains which make them lighter than other rocks.
As a result they are more susceptible to weathering which then allows them to be easily carried off by water or air.
In conclusion, option A is correct.

This question actually refers to body parts: otoliths are small structures in your inner ears (in the semicircular canals, so this part is correct) that shift when you move - to help you sense your body position (so this part is also true).
But they're not exactly stones - they are small particles, so that's why the statement is false.
