Question
I’m having hard time grasping the question can you please help answer this question?
The volcanic eruption at Mount St. Helens in 1980 was one of the most devastating volcanos in the United States. In some places, all the vegetation was destroyed, and a new layer of deep ash created an entirely new soil. In other places, there was not such a layer of ash, but still large fires destroyed much of the vegetation. Comparing these differences, a scientist would expect: All of the others could be true depending on how the climate differs. The area with deep ash would not undergo succession while the areas without deep ash would follow a typical trajectory of succession. Both areas would undergo succession at the same rate but would likely have different communities fifty years after the eruption. The areas with deep ash would undergo succession much faster than the areas without deep ash. O The areas with deep ash would undergo succession much slower than the areas without deep ash.
