anonymous · Answer

I believe it is plant regrowth after a layer of rock deposits because, Examples of where primary succession may take place include the formation of new islands, on new volcanic rock, and on land formed from glacial retreats. In primary succession, the initial conditions are often times very harsh, with little or no soil present.
