Do big grains erode faster or small grains?
Small grains erode faster than big grains because small grains have a larger surface area relative to their volume, allowing more contact with flowing water or wind that can wear them away more quickly. Additionally, small grains are often lighter and more easily transported by wind or water, further contributing to their erosion.

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.
