Question

secondary succession takes longer than primary 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.

Explanation:

Primary succession occurs on bare rock or hardened lava where soil must first form through long - term weathering and erosion with pioneer species like lichens and moss. Secondary succession occurs in areas where soil already exists, so it is faster than primary succession. The statement in the text is incorrect as it wrongly claims secondary succession takes longer.

Answer:

False
