Yes, because smaller particles are more exposed to air (large surface area).

Is delta weathering erosion deposition?
A delta is an area where a river enters a larger body of water. Weathered particles are eroded and then deposited when the momentum of the river slows down. So a delta has to start with weathered particles and then the particles have to be eroded and then they are deposited. So a delta does involve all of these processes.
How does the size of molecules affect diffusion?
The larger the molecule, the slower the rate of the osmosis; and the smaller the molecule, the slower the rate of osmosis.
What is formed when physical or chemical processes weather rock on or near the earths surface?
Smaller particles of rock are produced from larger particles.
Are virus particles larger than cells?
No. They are over 1,000,000 times smaller than cells!!
Does sand have smaller particles than gravel?
Yes, sand has fine particals, gravel is much larger.
How does the size of rock particles in soil affect the amount of water it can hold?
the answer to this question is that Soil with smaller particles can hold more water when Soil with larger rock particles can hold less water.....
Do smaller particles of sediment get deposited first or do large particles of sediment?
It would take more time for smaller particles to settle because they are lighter than larger particles, making it harder for them to settle. Its is easier for larger particles to settle because if they bump up against each other they wont move much and their heavier weight will cause them to stay once settled.
Which statement best explains why turbigenic sediments are found in graded beds?
During deposition, larger particles usually settle to the bottom faster than smaller particles do.
Why the water flows faster through the cylinders containing large particles than through the cylinders containing smaller particles?
because the surface area of the larger particles propels them faster which has a recipical effect on the water around the particles
Do Larger particles move faster than smaller ones and thus collide more frequently and more forcefully?
read your book. ;) but no, smaller ones move faster.
Mixtures whose particles are smaller than those in heterogeneous mixtures and larger than those in solutions are called what?
elements
How does particle size effect capillarity?
As long as the spaces between the particles are connected, the smaller the particles, the higher the capillarity. The larger the particles, the lower the capillarity.Particle size and capillarity are inversely, or negatively related.
