    The effect leads to a destabilization of the clay aggregates structure. In case of insufficient mechanical compaction of the clay layer, and with a shear stress , the weaker EDL compression by the salts in the quick clay results in clay particle repulsion and leads to their realignment in a structure that is weaker and unstable.

  6. Physical properties of soil - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Physical_properties_of_soil

    Clay soils also resist wind and water erosion better than silty and sandy soils, as the particles bond tightly to each other, [14] and that with a strong mitigation effect of organic matter. [ 15 ] Sand is the most stable of the mineral components of soil; it consists of rock fragments, primarily quartz particles, ranging in size from 2.0 to 0. ...

    For external use, the clay may be added to the bath, or prepared in wet packs or poultices for application to specific parts of the body. Often, warm packs are prepared; the heat opens up the pores of the skin, and helps the interaction of the clay with the body. [notes 4]
