Explanation:
Detailed explanation-1: -Primary succession occurs in an environment that is vegetation-free, and usually lacks topsoil. Secondary succession develops in areas where, somehow, all living organisms lost, that existed.
Detailed explanation-2: -Primary Succession Soil starts to form as lichens and the forces of weathering and erosion help break down rocks into smaller pieces and move them to new areas.
Detailed explanation-3: -that reduces an already established ecosystem (e.g. a forest or a wheat field) to a smaller population of species, and as such secondary succession occurs on preexisting soil whereas primary succession usually occurs in a place lacking soil.
