What natural event provides enough energy for the nuclear fusion reactions that create the heaviest elements?

The violent creation of the solar system. There where much heavy elements on this planet before are civilization started its climb. These elements that we have now will deplete further and will not leave much left for the next civilization. It is a act of constant depletion.

Can a natural isotope be radioactive?
Yes; some of the naturally occurring isotopes of the heaviest elements are radioactive.
What is the heavist element in the periodic table?
The heaviest stable element is bismuth, atomic number 83, atomic weight 208.9804). Any heavier element is radioactive, which means it decays into lighter elements - uranium, the heaviest naturally occurring element, will eventually decay into lead-207.
How are isotopes and ions and elements produced?
You add or remove one or more neutrons from each atom.
How many natural elements do we know of?
there are 51 natural elements we know of
Are all 109 known elements found in nature?
There are 92 "natural elements, and 21 manmade elements, for a total of 113 elements - all of which exists on earth. You probably learned there are 108 elements, but in the past 2 decades, they have discovered (or made) 5 more. This only means that you probably went to highschool in the early 90s like me.

Is uranium haviest natutural element?
Yes, uranium has the heaviest atomic mass between natural elements (238,02891).
How many natural elements are there?
Out of the first 92 elements, 1 being hydrogen (H) and 92 being uranium (U), there are 90 that are naturally occurring. Technetium (Tc) and promethium (Pm) are man-made elements and do not have any isotopes occurring naturally.
What is the heaviest type of element?
The heaviest natural element is Uranium (number 92). There are made heavier elements (I think the heaviest is ununheksium, number 116), but these atoms only live in less than a second before they split into smaller atoms.
Can a natural isotope be radioactive?
Yes; some of the naturally occurring isotopes of the heaviest elements are radioactive.
Is iron the heaviest element made in abundance in massive stars?
Iron is the heaviest element made in the bowels of any star with the exception of a supernova explosion. All natural elements heavier than iron come from one of those.
Heaviest member of group 2 in the periodic table?
Ununhexium is the heaviest metal in the periodic table of elements. It is man made however, so it might not count. The heaviest natural metal might be Radium.
What is the heavist element in the periodic table?
The heaviest stable element is bismuth, atomic number 83, atomic weight 208.9804). Any heavier element is radioactive, which means it decays into lighter elements - uranium, the heaviest naturally occurring element, will eventually decay into lead-207.
Which is the heaviest radioactive element?
The heaviest natural radioactive element is Uranium.Man made elements are continuously being made. The latest heaviest superheavyweight man made element to be discovered is element 117 (it is still so new that it hasn't been given a name yet).A little different bit of information about Fermium, a team has captured a piece of its spectrum-the wavelengths of light it absorbs-making it the heaviest element ever to be so measured. It was made in the 1952 detonation of the first thermonuclear bomb. It does not make it as the heaviest element, just the heaviest to have it's light spectrum captured.
How are isotopes and ions and elements produced?
You add or remove one or more neutrons from each atom.
Is it right that 88 natural elements now?
No. There are 92 natural elements.
How many natural elements do we know of?
there are 51 natural elements we know of
