A new mountain lake just formed by a retreating glacier. The lake starts out with little nutrients or life, but over time it begins to support a variety of species.

Which type of succession does this describe?

primary

secondary

aquatic

island

Primary succession

Explanation:

Primary succession occurs when living organisms colonize (appear on) a newly found area. So, since the retreating glacier (a large body of ice flowing downwards) resulted in a new environment, it tells that no living organisms previously existed in the area.

Therefore, the presence of nutrients in the lake would then support new life activities brought by the various species of living organisms.

Thus, primary succession occurs

it’s lava came from an explosive eruption
