What are some events that would start primary succession?
Primary succession occurs in an area where there is only bare rock - no organisms and no soil. This occurs after a volcanic eruption on land that covers an area in lava. It also occurs when a volcano at sea becomes tall enough to become a volcanic island.
The stage succession that has a bare bottom?
The pioneer stage of succession is the one with a bare bottom.
When does primary succession occur?
After a glacier recedes, a volcano erupts, or a strip mine is abandoned.
What series of predictable changes would occur after a glacier melts exposing a large area of bare rock?
Primary Succession
