Question

Which of the following is not an example of where primary succession typically occurs?

After a fire
A retreating glacier
Emerging islands
Formation of new lakes

Answer 1

After a fire

Step-by-step explanation:

Primary succession is one of the two types of ecological succession in which a barren area of land (with no soil) is colonized by organisms called PIONEER SPECIES for the very first time.

Primary succession is characterized by a BARREN area that had no form of previous growth or colonization. These barren area can include a retreating glacier, an emerging islands or the formation of new lakes.

Note that, the succession that occurs AFTER A FIRE or any form of environmental disturbance is SECONDARY SUCCESSION.
