## Step 1<br />For question 8, we are asked to identify the correct statement about secondary succession. Secondary succession refers to the process of ecological recovery in an area where a disturbance has occurred, but some soil and organic matter remain. This process is generally faster than primary succession, which occurs in areas where no soil remains, such as after a volcanic eruption.<br /><br />## Step 2<br />For question 9, we are asked to identify which event would NOT typically result in secondary succession. Secondary succession occurs in areas where a disturbance has occurred, but some soil and organic matter remain. This includes areas like a forest destroyed by insects, an abandoned parking lot, or a field after a flood. However, a newly exposed rock face after a glacier retreats is an example of primary succession, not secondary, because there is no soil or organic matter present.<br /><br />## Step 3<br />For question 10, we are asked to identify the effect of the presence of soil in secondary successions. The presence of soil in secondary successions speeds up the process of succession. This is because soil contains nutrients and organic matter that can support the growth of plants, which is a crucial step in the process of succession.
