Detailed explanation-1: -Primary succession occurs when new land is formed or bare rock is exposed, providing a habitat that can be colonized for the first time. For example, primary succession may take place following the eruption of volcanoes, such as those on the Big Island of Hawaii. As lava flows into the ocean, new rock is formed.
Detailed explanation-2: -During primary succession, organisms must start from scratch. First, lichens might attach themselves to rocks, and a few small plants able to live without much soil might appear. These are known as “pioneer species.”
Detailed explanation-3: -Primary succession refers to the establishment of a community in an uninhabited area such as rocks. Process of primary succession: Primary succession is seen in areas where volcanic eruptions occur. When the lava has cooled and hardened, it forms rocks or barren land.
