Furthermore, Deidara needs to gather clay, he can't create it.

This suggests that 1: Explosion Release can't possibly contain Earth Release (else Deidara doesn't need to gather clay)

and 2: It suggests Deidara's secret jutsu (which combines Explosion Release with clay) is defused by Lightning, not the explosion release itself.
