The best answer includes two types of movement vertical which is accomplished by extending the foot into the sand or mud. The anterior end of the foot can be spread like a phalange and then the shell is pulled toward that direction. Most movement of adult clams is vertical. Clams in the surf use a type of jet propulsion by forcing water out of the shell cavity which sends the clam in the opposite dirction.
