Detailed explanation-1: -For example, in Mount Saint Helens, Washington, an erupting volcano decimated all nearby living organisms. Changes in this community will continue for centuries.
Detailed explanation-2: -Primary succession and pioneer species 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. As lava flows into the ocean, new land is continually being formed.
