Question

In what location would primary succession most likely occur? An area that was covered by a glacier An area that was in a long drought An area that had severe flooding An area that was hit by a hurricane

Answer 1

An area that was covered by a glacier

Primary succession is a method of bringing about fertility in infertile land that can not be cultivated. This method usually involves plant species known as "pioneer species", that do not rely heavily on soil nutrients but add nutrients to the soil. The land under the glacier is likely to be void of nutrients and infertile, so primary succession will be needed there the most.

Answer 2

I just took the module 3 exam and the answer would be "An area covered by a glacier". :)
