Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Quick clays, also known as sensitive clays, are able to change from a solid state to a near-liquid state due to quick disturbance, such as an earthquake or a landslide. Mudflow, scree, and talus are not specific to clay but refer to different types of geological features or processes. Sandy is not a type of clay.
