What is the wearing down of rocks by blowing sand?
Erosion.
What is blowing sand dropped by wind when an obstacle is met?
When blowing sand encounters an obstacle, it can deposit and accumulate on the leeward side, forming a mound or dune. This process is known as sand deposition or aeolian deposition. The deposited sand can eventually lead to the formation of various landforms such as sand dunes.

Do camels have big eyelids?
to protect their eyes from the blowing sand
What has long eyelashes and hairlines ears that block blowing sand can close its nostrils to keep sand out?
It is a camel.
Sharp edges of blowing sand wearing rocks away?
Blowing sand carries abrasive particles that can wear down the surface of rocks through a process called abrasion. Over time, this constant abrasion by the sand can cause the rocks to lose their sharp edges and be smoothed out. It's a natural phenomenon that contributes to the erosion of rock formations in deserts and other windy environments.
What are two examples of rock erosion?
Blowing sand and Niagara Falls.
