Question [CLICK ON ANY CHOICE TO KNOW THE RIGHT ANSWER]
Natural disasters such as flooding, forest fires, and tornadoes are associated with which type of succession?
A
primary
B
secondary
C
Gordito
D
ecosystem
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -Secondary succession: An established community undergoes secondary succession due to a disturbance caused by natural disasters such as wildfires, tornadoes or hurricanes. Human influences such as foresting, farming and development also lead to secondary succession.

Detailed explanation-2: -Secondary succession is the type of succession that happens after something destroys the habitat, such as a flood or other natural disaster.

Detailed explanation-3: -Secondary succession is the series of changes that take place when there is soil present. For example, after a fire, hurricane, flood, destruction by man, or tornado.

Detailed explanation-4: -Secondary succession follows disasters such as a wildfire, hurricane, or other natural disturbance. Secondary succession can also follow human activities like logging and farming.

Detailed explanation-5: -Ecological succession is the process by which the mix of species and habitat in an area changes over time. Gradually, these communities replace one another until a “climax community”-like a mature forest-is reached, or until a disturbance, like a fire, occurs. Ecological succession is a fundamental concept in ecology.
