Question

In 2009 an explosive eruption covered the island of Hunga Ha'apai in black volcanic ash. What type of succession is this?

Answer 1

Answer:

The type of succession is:

Primary succession

Explanation:

This is a type of succession that occurs after a volcanic eruption or earthquake; it involves the breakdown of rocks by lichens to create new, nutrient rich soils.

Primary succession is one of the two types of succession we have. It begins on rock formations, such as volcanoes or mountains, or in a place with no organisms or soil.
