Blowing on a pile of sand will displace grains of sand. How much sand you move and how far will depend on the sand and how hard you blow on it. If it's wet sand, the force of the air you expel won't do much, but if it's dry sand and you're close and use a big breath, you'll get a lot of action.
* Leave it out in the sun for some time * Put it on a heater * Put it in the oven for a few minutes Those are all I can think of. Hope they help!

No. Sand consists of tiny grains of rock. The bits of rock vary somewhat in composition, but generally do not contain molecular solids. Sand is mostly composed of covalent networks and ionic solids.
Quicksand is made of wet, mucky sand. It is usually found in jungles, where the water from the soil gets into deep sand. It then gets the sand overly saturated, so when you step in it, you sink as if your pool had just a little sand in it. There is more water than sand, so you sink like in water, not like in sand.
Sand, dirt, and other dry things weigh more if it is wet.
Exactly how much more it weighs will depend on how wet it is.
It will depend on (a) the bulk density of the dry sand and (b) the moisture content of the wet sand.
Can weigh up to 700 pounds when it is wet.
Sand, wet - 1920 kg/m³ Sand, wet, packed - 2080 kg/m³ Sand, dry - 1600 kg/m³ Sand, loose - 1440 kg/m³ Sand, rammed - 1680 kg/m³ Sand, water filled - 1920 kg/m³
Sand can be wet or dry.
Anyone who has dug a shovelful of wet sand and a shovelful of dry sand will tell you that the wet sand is quite a bit heavier than the dry sand. Dry sand is composed of individual particles with air in the spaces between grains. When you add water to a bucket of dry sand, the water replaces the air. Although the bucket is already full of sand, you can pour in quite a bit of water, adding that much more weight. If you have a choice of which bucket to carry, pick the bucket of dry sand every time!
...quite a lot
It depends if it is wet or dry.
Dry sand is dry because it has little or no water in it. Wet sand is wet because it is saturated with water. Wet sand is often found on ocean beaches.
because wet sand is cold from the cold water that makes it wet, and dry sand is in the sun and the water cant reach all the sand.
