Sand comes from chemical and/or physical weathering of rocks, and is critically important to our society! 

Most sand formation begins in the soil - soil has water to further break down the pieces. And the location where sand is formed plays a really important role in how useful sand is for concrete and ceramics.  Most beach sand and desert sand is too rounded to be used!
