What are the consequences of nuclear fission for the earth?
The main consequence is the production of quantities of highly active fission products which would not occur naturally, and which will have to be carefully stored for thousands of years.
Where does the reaction occur in nuclear fission?
Nuclear energy
Does fission occur in the body?
No nuclear fission occurs in the body.
Where do nuclear fission and nuclear fission reactions occur naturally?
Fusion ocurs in the stars including our sun. I don't know of fission occurring naturally anywhere, but there is evidence it once did in a few places on earth a long time ago. At that time there would have been more U-235 which has now reduced by decay. It may occur elsewhere in the universe in planets like earth, but we have no way of knowing this.

Spontaneous nuclear fission processes occur by?
chain reactions
Nuclear fission can occur in?
A critical assembly of fissile material
Can Nuclear fission occur in quarks?
Currently, it can't. May be it could be in future.
Why is fission important to the splitting of the atom?
The term fission generally means to split into parts. When we talk about splitting the atom, we generally apply the term nuclear fission to the process. Nuclear fission, the breaking apart of an atomic nucleus, can occur spontaneously, or it can occur as the result of the bombarding of a nucleus with radiation. Nuclear fission is covered in another related question, and it is linked below.
Where do you get nuclear fission?
You get nuclear fission in:nuclear fission reactorsatomic fission bombs
Does transmutation occur in nuclear fission?
Nuclear fission splits an atom of one element into two atoms of two different elements. This is not usually called transmutation. However, fission is accompanied by subsequent steps, which usually include transmutation.
What is the splitting of an atoms nucleus into two smaller nuclei is called?
nuclear fission
The splitting of a heavy nucleus is called?
nuclear fission
