Answer:

Yes

Explanation:

Yes, there are many energy forces that directly affect the formation of rocks and other substances. The Sun itself provides both energies in the form of heat/radiation and magnetic energy. Heat can get so intense when combined with pressure from being so far underground that it causes rocks to melt and become magma, which combines with other minerals and forms new types of rocks when they cool in the future. Magnetic energy helps push and pull the waves and wind on Earth which ultimately break down rocks into sand over the years.
