Answer 1

The island’s ecosystem will recover due to primary succession.

Answer 2

Hmm...

Well a hurricane wouldn't destroy ALL of the the plants and animals so I think we can rule out some options there.

I don't think it would destroy ALL of the abiotic factors either...

But this is where I get stuck! Primary succession occurs in an environment in which new substrate devoid of vegetation and usually lacking soil, which MAY happen with a hurricane.. but perhaps not.

Some loss of species would occur though.
