If the clay was Earth Release, why could Deidara run out of it and not simply use the earth around him?

Also, if it wasn't the chakra that was made up of Earth Release, why would Sasuke use Lightning Release to disable it? What good does disabling the Earth Release clay, when it's the Explosion Release chakra inside that explodes?
