Yes. Temperature changes, water, wind, pressure changes, plant and animal action, and gravity are all agents of physical weathing.
Fluctuating temperatures have diverse effects on rocks. This may cause freezing, thawing and break down of the rocks among other effects.

the process is called weathering when the rocks break down
Magnetic force does not break down rocks in nature. Rocks are typically broken down by mechanical weathering (e.g. frost wedging, root growth) and chemical weathering (e.g. oxidation, dissolution).

Erosion is the main force that acts on rocks to break them down into sand. Water getting into cracks, freezing and expanding also helps to break down rocks.
sedimentary rocks
Temperature and pressure can cause minerals in rocks to break down through a process called weathering. When rocks are exposed to high temperatures and pressures, the minerals within them can expand and contract, leading to cracks and fractures. This allows water and other substances to penetrate the rock, causing chemical reactions that break down the minerals over time.
