Question

'Soil is renewable resource over a long period of time . But it is non -renewable for a short period of time'. Explain

Answer 1

Soil is a renewable resource over long periods of time because over long periods of time, soil can be created anew from rocks and organic material. But this process takes a long period of time. During short periods of time, new soil cannot be created. Hence, soil is not a renewable resource over a short period of time.
