Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

In primary succession, newly exposed or newly formed rock is colonized by living things for the first time. In secondary succession, an area previously occupied by living things is disturbed—disrupted—then recolonized following the disturbance.

Primary succession: is a process by which a community arises in a virtually lifeless area with no soil.

Secondary succession: follows a disturbance that destroys a community without destroying the soil.
