Explanation:
soil formation takes few years. true or false
: We say that it takes 500 to thousands of years to create an inch of topsoil. The reason is that soil is often derived from rock. The rock has to be broken into small pieces first. This happens by physical weathering: things like freezing and thawing in colder climates, and chemical weathering in warmer climates.

The answer is False.
The time needed to form a soil depends on the latitude: in environments characterized by a mild climate , it takes 200-400 yrs to form 1 cm of soil.
In tropical areas, soil formation is faster , as it takes 200 yrs to accumulate enough substances to make soil fertile it takes 2000 -3000yrs.
