can you please explain?
Primary succession occurs in an area where there is no existing soil or vegetation to start with. When sheets of ice melt away, they expose bare rock that has not been previously colonized by plants. Over time, pioneer species such as lichens and mosses may begin to grow on the bare rock, eventually breaking it down and helping to build soil. This process of soil development and plant colonization is the beginning of primary succession in this scenario.

Which statement describes a difference between primary and secondary succession?(1 point) Responses Secondary succession supports a more limited number of organisms than primary succession. Secondary succession supports a more limited number of organisms than primary succession. Secondary succession occurs over a shorter time period than primary succession. Secondary succession occurs over a shorter time period than primary succession. Primary succession can more easily be observed than secondary succession. Primary succession can more easily be observed than secondary succession. Primary succession supports a greater variety of organisms than secondary succession. Primary succession supports a greater variety of organisms than secondary succession.
Primary succession supports a greater variety of organisms than secondary succession.
sorry but that wasn't right
I apologize for the mistake.
Secondary succession occurs in an area where there was previously soil and vegetation, but it was disturbed or destroyed, allowing for new growth to occur. In contrast, primary succession occurs in an area where there was no existing soil or vegetation to start with, such as bare rock or sand.
Therefore, the correct statement describing a difference between primary and secondary succession is: Secondary succession supports a more limited number of organisms than primary succession.
