Question

Melting glaciers in Alaska leave open land which will go through primary succession. What conditions would most likely be present in this region?

Large trees growing in rich soil
Algae and fungi growing on bare rock
Light soil with moderate plant growth
A wide variety of organisms

Answer 1

The condition that is most likely to be present in the region left by the melting glaciers in Alaska is that algae and fungi growing on bare rock. This is because environment in primary succession is essentially deprived of vegetation and several kinds of organisms. Thus, plants are unable to grow since the soil lacks nutrients.
