What type of succession occurs in an area where an ecosystem has been disturbed?
primary succession
When no life exists in an area what type of succession begins?
Primary succession occurs in an area with no soil or organic matter, like an area after a volcanic eruption. Secondary succession occurs where there is already soil.
What type of area will undergo the fastest ecological succession?
seconary succession
What is a gradual change in the kinds of organisms living in an ecosystem?
Succession refers to the normal, gradual changes that occur in the types of species that live in an area.
Why does primary succession take longer that secondary succession?
Soil nutrients remain in the area which enables plants to grow.
Primary succession and secondary succession?
PRIMARY SUCCESSION -SEQUENCE OF SPECIES ON NEWLY EXPOSED LANDFORMS THAT HAVE NOT PREVIOUS BEEN INFLUENCED BY A COMMUNITY e.g. AREAS EXPOSED BY GLACIAL RETREAT. SECONDARY SUCCESSION- SUCCESSION IN WHICH VEGETATION OF AN AREA HAS BEEN PARTIALLY OR COMPLETELY REMOVED BUT WHERE WELL DEVELOPED SOIL ,SEED SPORES REMAIN SO THAT THE RESULTING SEQUENCE OF SPECIES IS DRIVEN PRINCIPALLY BY INTERACTIONS SUCH AS COMPETITION AND HERBIVORE'S e.g. FAMILIAR OLD FIELDS
What do you call the total area of exposed surfaces on a geometric solid?
Surface area
What is ecological succesion?
Ecological succession is a fundamental phenomenon of ecology. It refers to progressive succession from unstable community to stable community. Initiation of succession is by a) formation of new inhabited area - volcanic eruption; wash out by tsunami etc. b) natural and man made calamities - fire Succession is of two types: Primary - from newly formed soil & secondary - from already existing soil. Ecological succession refers to the orderly and gradual process in a given ecosystem.

Succession that begins in an area that previously did not support life?
Primary Succession :)
What type of area will undergo the fastest ecological succession?
seconary succession
What happens to the rate at which a rock will weather when it is broken up and why?
The rate of decomposition of the rock will increase when it is broken up because there is more surface area exposed to the elements weather) that can erode the surfaces.
Succession occurring in an area with no soil?
none
Primary Succession?
The series of changes in a area
What is a gradual change in the kinds of organisms living in an ecosystem?
Succession refers to the normal, gradual changes that occur in the types of species that live in an area.
How does the area of exposed surface affect evaporation?
The larger the exposed surface area - the faster evaporation occurs.
