What are some kind of pioneer species that start growing after pioneer species?
I find it easier to find the answer if you look it up as... "What kins of plants grow after pioneer species?"
Is moraines famous?
some are.
What are some examples of pioneer species?
shrubs, sprouts, trees, mountains, and small animals.
What is an example of a pioneer species in secondary succession?
After the eruption, plants began to colonize the volcanic debris. Such plants that is called pioneer species
What are facts about primary successions?
- The first species to grow are pioneer species such as lichens and mosses. - As pioneer species grow and die, soil forms. Some plants grow in the new soil. - As more plants die, they make the soil more fertile. New plants grow in the rich soil, and existing plants mature. - Pioneer species are usually carried by wind and water. - Is a series of changes that occur where no life exists in the area. - To have a very mature community might take centuries.
What is an example of a moraine?
Some of moraines types are rogen and veiki Moraines,Generally moraines can be classified either by their origin, location with respect to a glacier or former glacier, or by their shape.The first approach is suitable for moraines associated to contemporary glaciers but more difficult to apply to old moraines whose glaciers have disappeared long ago.Moraines types like rogen and veiki moraines are defined by their particular morphology since their origin has been a matter of dispute. Some moraine types are only known from ancient glaciers, like the two former ones, while medial moraines of valley glaciers are poorly preserved and difficult to distinguish after the retreat or melting of the glacier.Refer to link below for more details.

What are the common sediments produced by glaciers?
Moraines, erratic blocks and clay with flints are some.
What is one land form caused by a glacier?
Continental glaciers, valley glaciers, moraines, valleys, lakes.Canyons and lakes.Glaciers cause the formation of moraines and eskers. They also deposit glacial erratics.A glacier can create water-forms such as rivers, and even oceans if they travel so far that they melt and they turn into water forms.U-shaped valleys, truncated spurs, pyramidal peaks, corries and ribbon lakes.
How could tell if a glacier had once moved across a region?
Erratics are a key sign of glacial activity. These are large rocks resting on top of soil, unlike monadnocks which are pinnacles left over from riparian erosion. The rock is carried from some distant mountain on glacial ice, and abandoned on a plain when the ice stops moving and melts. Glacial valleys have a characteristic U shape to them, as opposed to the V shape of valleys carved by water. Often glaciers leave broken rock and rubble in a wavey line known as a terminal moraine, or along the sides of the moving ice in formations known as lateral moraines. Ice also gouges series of characteristic grooves or scars on mountain rock faces, indicative of glacial activity.
