Sand is created through weathering and erosion. It is, essentially, just a whole bunch of bits of rock, shells, fossils, etc. Say there is a rock. The rock is exposed to wind, water, ice, etc. Slowly, this rock gets weathered away. By weathering I mean that it gets broken down into smaller and smaller pieces, which are carried away. Over time, that rock will be completely broken down into smaller sediments. Those sediments are, in effect, sand grains.
