Primary succession is the series of community changes which occur on an entirely new habitat which has never been colonized before. For example, a newly quarried rock face or sand dunes.

Secondary succession is the series of community changes which take place on a previously colonized, but disturbed or damaged habitat. For example, after felling trees in a woodland, land clearance or a fire.

Ecological succession is the gradual process by which ecosystems change and develop over time. Nothing remains the same and habitats are constantly changing. There are two main types of succession, primary and secondary.

Primary succession is the series of community changes which occur on an entirely new habitat which has never been colonized before. For example, a newly quarried rock face or sand dunes.

Secondary succession is the series of community changes which take place on a previously colonized, but disturbed or damaged habitat. For example, after felling trees in a woodland, land clearance or a fire.

Positive feedback in a system is

musickatia [10]

Positive feedback in a system is a benefit for the entire system

Answer: Option B

Explanation:

The positive mechanism is a stimuli that the body exhibits when in time of need which actually benefits the entire system. When required the positive feedback runs to rescue and neutralize the effect caused by the negative impact which paves a way to maintain equilibrium throughout the body.

Many examples can be cited for this like blood clotting, during labor and even in ripening of fruits. Positive and negative feedback work hand in hand to maintain homeostasis in place. Positive feedback is required to enhance the system while the negative feedback is to inhibit the activity.

One degree of latitude on the earth's surface is equal to:

satela [25.4K]

$\huge\boxed{\text{D.}\ 60\ \text{nautical miles}}$

1 minute of latitude is equal to 1 nautical mile.

Just like an hour of time, there are 60 minutes in a degree of latitude.

Therefore, there are 60 nautical miles in each degree.
