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.
Things in nature are not black and white, and there are intermediate stages so this makes this question somewhat difficult.Succession that begins in new habitats, uninfluenced by preexisting communities is called primary succession, whereas succession that follows disruption of a preexisting community is called secondary succession.Primary succession: the development of plant and animal life in an area without topsoil; the development of biotic communities in a previously uninhabited and barren habitat with little or no soil.Pioneer succession doesn't exist as a succession term, but pioneer species do.The definition of primary succession fits as the answer to your question.
true
Secondary succession, where plant and animal life recolonize an area after a disturbance has disrupted an existing ecosystem.
The area of land and air where life exists is known as the biosphere. It includes all ecosystems and habitats on Earth where living organisms are found.
Surtsey island is an example of primary succession because it formed from a volcanic eruption in 1963, meaning no previous soil or vegetation was present. As the island ages, life begins to colonize and establish itself over time through the process of primary succession.
Primary succession occurs in an area that previously did not support life, such as barren rock or sand. It typically starts with the colonization of pioneer species, like lichens or mosses, which break down the substrate and create soil for other plants to establish. Over time, as more complex plant and animal species colonize the area, a diverse and stable ecosystem develops.
Secondary Succession refers to the reintroduction of a community to an area that has previously supported life. Reintroduction may have to happen because a wild fire, flood or earthquake has completely destroyed life in this ecosystem. Secondary succession reaches a climax community quicker than in primary succession because spores and seeds of plants may remain in the soil. Whereas in primary succession this would all take time to come about. Just remember any type of succession starts with increasing the biomass of vegetation so that more life can be supported and more food chains evolved.

Primary succession happens in a place where there is no soil and as a gradual growth of an ecosystem over a long period of time. Secondary succession occurs where there is already vegetation but has been destroyed by a natural disaster.
Please be more specifical.

Success is when life is established after a disaster in an area. Primary succession starts when things like glaciers and volcanic eruptions strip away soil and leave bare rock for pioneer species like lichen and moss to spread their seedlings. Secondary succession begins from soil being left from things like forest fires and like Primary succession it uses pioneer species like grass and bushes to spread and rebuild.

"Succession is a process of ecological change in which a series of natural communities are established and then replaced over time. Ecologists (scientists who study the relationships of organisms with their living and nonliving environment) generally recognize two kinds of succession, primary succession and secondary succession. Primary succession takes place on an area that is originally completely empty of life. As an example, an area that has been covered by a flow of lava has, for a time, no life at all on it. Over a period of time, however, various kinds of organisms begin to grow in the area. Over time, the variety of life-forms changes as succession continues."
its neither and both... secondary succession merely means that the areas life was destroyed and is growing again... you would have to know the history of the area.
