When a desert during the dinosaurs was dry, that area might be lush rainforest now. So yes. In fact, it can take thousands of years for fertile and nonfertile soil to form.

What is one natural resource that can be easily eroded and may take hundreds of years to form?
Soil
Can lost soil be replaced?
Replacing soil can be hard or even impossilbe. Soil can take hundreds even thousands of years just to form and by then more soil would have formed and some soil lost.
What is fen soil?
the soil in which the anceint fen bird has lived hundreds of years ago then died there making the soil rich with its magic powers
How many years does it take for soil to form from bedrock?
This depends a lot on climatic conditions, plant cover, bed rock chemistry and relief. Furthermore different types of soil take differing amounts of time to form. Tropical laterites take much longer time to form than a thin layer of regolith. A number of scientific projects have been granted over the last years to study the pace of soil formation on barren rocks in different locations. The time it takes to form a meter thick soil is taken to be at least several hundreds of years.
What is the relationship between the amount of organic matter in the soil and depth?
here the importance of top soil come.top soil is rich in micronutrients which is essential for growth of plants and takes hundreds of years to accumilate.

Who many years does it take for soil to form?
One Billion!
How are the rocks converted to the soil?
soil is nothing but the smallest form of rocks i.e stones... rock was crushed into soil for many of years by the nature...
How long does it take for deep soil to form?
500 to 1,000 years
How do rocks becomes soil?
by erosion but it takes thousands of years to form.
