Question 5 • CA-Life Science B (High School)

Which is one event that may lead to Primary succession?

Answer
A
clear-cutting
B
climate change
C
volcanic eruption
D
introduced species

Explanation

Primary succession begins in an area without soil, such as newly formed rock. A volcanic eruption can create bare rock when lava cools, allowing pioneer species to colonize first. Clear-cutting usually leaves soil behind, so it may lead to secondary succession instead.
