What else can I help you with?
What is the hydrogen to helium reaction that is occurring inside the sun called?
nuclear fission
What is the only naturally occurring element used for nuclear fission?
Uranium is the only naturally occurring element used for nuclear fission in commercial nuclear reactors. It is typically found in two isotopes, uranium-235 and uranium-238, with uranium-235 being the primary isotope used for nuclear fission reactions.
What is the process that Earth's processes occurring today are similar to those that occured in the past?
Uniformitarianism: a principle stating that earths processes occurring today are similar to those that occur in the past

Does genocide occur in the world today?
yeah its occurring in Darfur
Where are most extinctions occurring today?
Tropical rain forest
Why nuclear fission is not possible in naturally occurring uranium?
Fission in Uranium would take billions of years when its left to its own devices. Because of radioactive decay, it would either release alpha or beta radiation, or fission. The earth would have to be really old for that to maybe happen. Besides, Only less than 1% of Uranium is U-235, which is the only isotope of uranium that would fission, is found on earth.
Which one of these two process is still used today Nuclear Fission or Fusion?
Fission. Fusion has never been used on Earth, except for nuclear weapon tests.
The element most commonly used as a fuel in nuclear fission reaction is?
The element most commonly used as a fuel in nuclear fission reactions is uranium-235. It is a naturally occurring isotope of uranium that can sustain a chain reaction under controlled conditions in nuclear reactors.
An assumption that the earth processes occurring today have always occurred is the?
Theory of uniformitarianism.
Why does chemical evolution not occur today?
I think it is constantly occurring, and has never stopped.
In the twentieth century what were two ways nuclear fission happened?
Nuclear fission happens spontaneously in nature. Uranium-235 does this, and is the only commonly occurring natural isotope that does. Nuclear fission can be induced by crashing a neutron into a fissionable atom. Some things other than Uranium-235 are fissionable, notably Uranium-238. Fission has been induced in various experiments. It happens in nuclear reactors and in nuclear bombs.
