The correct answer is: It takes so long to form.
Soil is considered to be a nonrenewable natural resource because it takes a very long time to form. It is the result of weathering processes that break down rocks and minerals over hundreds or thousands of years. Once soil is depleted, it takes a significant amount of time to regenerate, making it nonrenewable on human timescales.
