Answer:

secondary succession

Explanation:

In the described scenario we have a destruction of an ecosystem because of natural causes, volcano in this case. All that has left after the volcanic eruption has been barren land. After this has happened life started colonizing the volcanic island again, in a process known as primary succession. In the primary succession it is the organisms that have the lowest of requirements for survival that will inhabit the island. Over time, as they die, they will provide biomass for the ground, thus soil will start to form. Once there's soil formed a process called secondary succession will start. In this process the island will start to be inhabited by some plants and smaller animals. These plants and animals will contribute to further enhancing the living conditions on the island, and the island will gradually be getting larger plants and larger animals, thus a new ecosystem will be formed on the place of the old one.

With whom did the pope form an alliance as a result of the iconoclastic controversy?
Lilit [14]

Answer:

Hi

The papacy made alliance with the Franks.

Explanation:

The iconoclastic controversy caused the Byzantium Church and the Church of Rome to move further away. During that complaint, the popes defended the veneration of the icons and denounced the opinions of the emperors of the East. The orthodox party considered Rome as the custodian of orthodoxy, it was normal for the iconoclast emperors to apply a hostile policy in front of the apostolic seat. Leon II, in 732, submitted the authority of the Patriarch of Constantinople to almost the entire Balkan peninsula, except Thrace. This, together with the weakness of the Byzantine military positions in Italy, caused the papacy to request the help of the Franks. This resulted in the alliance between Stephen I and Pepin, which meant that the papacy was moving away from the Byzantine Empire.
