The correct answer is: It takes so long to form. Soil is considered a nonrenewable natural resource because it takes thousands of years to form, and the rate of formation is much slower than the rate at which it is being degraded and lost due to human activities such as deforestation and inappropriate land use practices. Once soil is lost, it cannot be replaced in human timescales.
