5 0

Answer:

D. DDT

Explanation:

DDT is highly persistent in the environment means that it break down very slowly in the environment. The half-life for DDT is from 2 to 15 years. Half-life is the time needed for the degradation of half of the compound. Persistent bio-accumulative toxic substances (PBTs) are chemicals that break down slowly in the environment and its accumulation in living organisms are toxic. Some PBTs are dispersed through air currents while some uses other environmental pathways, resulting in contamination of regions far from their points of origin.

How are primary and secondary succession similar? a. both primary and secondary succession involve ecosystems that have no soil.
sdas [7]

Both primary and secondary succession involves ecosystems recovering from a disruptive event. Thus, option "B" is correct.

<h3>What is Primary succession?</h3>

Primary succession occurs following an opening of pristine habitat, for example, a lava flow, an area left from retreated glacier, or abandoned strip mine. In contrast, secondary succession is a response to a disturbance, for example, forest fire, tsunami, flood, or an abandoned field.

Primary succession begins in barren areas, such as on bare rock exposed by a retreating glacier. Secondary succession follows a major disturbance, such as a fire or a flood.

Thus, option "B" is correct.
