Secondary succession occurs in areas where a disturbance has happened but soil and some life forms still exist, such as after a storm that blows down trees. Primary succession, on the other hand, occurs in lifeless areas where soil has not yet formed, such as beside a newly erupted volcano, a new sand dune, a receding glacier, or a newly formed island.
