Primary succession occurs whenever there is no life in an area.

Explanation:

Primary succession occurs whenever there is no vegetation in an area.

For example, a newly formed landmass such as a volcanic island would undergo primary succession. An area recently exposed due to glacial retreat would undergo primary succession. A parking lot vacated and left alone by humans will eventually undergo primary succession if given enough time.
