Explanation:
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: -Primary succession occurs when disturbances (such as glacial advances and retreats, volcanoes, earthquakes, landslides, scouring floods, or very hot-burning fires) remove the soil and organisms from a site, leaving only bare rock, gravel, silt, or sand.
