Question

select the statement(s) about primary and secondary succession. secondary succession processes take less time than primary succession because some soil and species are still present after the major disruption. primary succession occurs faster than secondary succession due to the time required for the weathering and erosion of rock or hardened lava. pioneer species, lichens, and moss appear, and soil forms soil during the later stages. primary succession takes longer than secondary succession due to the time required for the weathering and erosion of rock or hardened lava. pioneer species, lichens, and moss appear, and soil forms during the earliest stages. primary and secondary succession both end with a mature, climax community. secondary succession takes longer than primary succession due to the time required for the weathering

Explanation:

Primary succession occurs in areas with no soil, like after a volcanic eruption, starting with pioneer species such as lichens and mosses. It takes a long - time for rock to weather and soil to form. Secondary succession happens in areas where soil is already present after a disturbance like a fire or flood. Since soil and some species remain, it proceeds faster. Both primary and secondary succession lead to a mature, climax community over time.

Answer:

• Secondary succession processes take less time than primary succession because some soil and species are still present after the major disruption.
• Primary succession takes longer than secondary succession due to the time required for the weathering and erosion of rock or hardened lava. Pioneer species, lichens, and moss appear, and soil forms during the earliest stages.
• Primary and secondary succession both end with a mature, climax community.
