25 multiple choice 1 point
which of the following is an example of primary succession?
recolonization after a hurricane
regrowth after a forest fire
pond drying into a meadow
vegetation developing on a new volcanic island

Explanation:

Primary succession occurs in an area where no soil exists initially. A new volcanic island has no pre - existing soil. Recolonization after a hurricane, regrowth after a forest fire, and a pond drying into a meadow (which has some pre - existing soil or organic matter in the case of the pond's bottom) are examples of secondary succession. Secondary succession occurs in areas where a disturbance has destroyed an existing community but left the soil intact.

Answer:

Vegetation developing on a new volcanic island
