You are most likely to observe primary succession in a terrestrial community when you visit a(n)
A) tropical rain forest. B) abandoned field.
C) recently burned forest. D) recently created volcanic island. E) recently plowed field.
Answer:
D) recently created volcanic island.
Explanation:
Primary succession involves changes that occur in a lifeless habitat that has not been colonized before by plants and animals. It occurs in barren area, and it would take years for a community of plants and animals to be established in it.
A recently created volcanic island is an example of a barren habitat having almost no life in it. I would most likely observe primary succession in such terrestrial community.
A tropical rain forest, abandoned field, recently burned forest, and recently plowed field are habitats that have life on them already.Secondary succession can only be observed in them .
