To illustrate what is happening, take one enormous concrete block and a load of machine guns. Then open fire on the concrete block, eventually that concrete block is going to disappear into nothing but rubble. You get the idea.
Each of the bullets breaks off a small piece as it ricochets off the block, eventually, with enough bullets there's no concrete block left.
Sand carried by the wind does the same thing, only it takes longer, as the grains of sand are lighter than bullets. With enough sand grains, even a mountain can disappear.
