Explanation:
Detailed explanation-1: -Primary succession occurs when new land is formed or rock is exposed; for example, following the eruption of volcanoes, such as those on the Big Island of Hawaii.

Detailed explanation-2: -Secondary succession occurs in an area that had previously been inhabited but experienced a disturbance, such as a lava flow.
