Explanation:

Primary succession occurs when new, barren land (like that covered by lava flow, which leaves no soil or existing organisms) is colonized for the first time. Secondary succession happens in areas where a disturbance (like a forest fire) destroys existing life but leaves soil and some biological remnants intact, allowing for faster recolonization.

Answer:

A lava flow would result in primary succession whereas a forest fire would result in secondary succession.
