What else can I help you with?
Do volcanic eruptions only cause destruction?
No. Volcanic eruptions can build mountains and form new land. Many occur in remote areas where there is not much to destroy.
Do earthquakes only occur in the daytime?
No they can occur at anytime.
Has there ever been an earthquake that has not killed anyone?
Certainly, minor rumbles occured without any damage in Washington Dc recently. often there are seismic shakes in areas sparsely populated that are only traced on instruments and no damage, let alone deaths, occur.
Do tsunami only occur due to earthquakes?
No. Tsunamis can also occur as a result of landslides, volcanic eruptions, meteor impacts, and underwater explosions.
Does everyone feel an earthquake?
Not everyone, no. Earthquakes happen in certain areas and only those areas will feel it. Of course it depends on how strong the earthquake is.
Where does nuclear fusion occur in a nuclear plant?
Nuclear fusion does not currently occur in nuclear plants. Nuclear plants use nuclear fission, where atoms are split to release energy. Fusion reactions, in which atomic nuclei combine to release energy, are not yet used commercially for electricity generation.
Do any power plant today run run on nuclear fusion why or why not?
No, because the highest amount of energy needed in a nuclear fusion is 40,000,000 K, which is only known to occur on the sun.
Why only in the sun's core does nuclear fusion occur?
The rest of the sun is too cold and too low pressure.
Nuclear fusion only releases energy when elements that are lighter than what element are involved?
Nuclear fusion only releases energy when elements lighter than iron are involved. This is because elements lighter than iron release energy due to the process of fusion, while elements heavier than iron require energy to be input for fusion to occur.
Does fusion powers many of your nuclear power plants?
Nuclear fusion is used only in experimental installations.
Where has the process of nuclear fusion been occurring?
The only place in which nuclear FUSION takes place is in stars (the sun included), and in the detonation of a hyndrogen bomb. If you are asking about nuclear FISSION (an entirely different process), restate the question.
When does fission occur in a star?
Never, only fusion
What is nuclear fusion used for?
Up to now only in H-bombs. Experiments in fusion are on going though.
Where does thermonuclear fusion mainly occur?
The only place in the universe where nuclear fusion can occur on its own is in the interior of stars. After closely observing nature, and adapting its laws to fulfill human requirements, our advanced civilization has succeeded in creating nuclear fusion at will, on a small scale. Unfortunately, the only useful application successfully developed so far with our superior intellect is the construction of nuclear bombs and weapons.
Do fusion reactions provide nuclear power?
No, a fission reaction is not necessary to trigger a fusion reaction, but for us on earth, it is. In the field of nuclear weapons, a fission bomb is needed to create the heat necessary to set off a fusion weapon. We have to use fission, or, rather, the energy created by that, to initiate the fusion reaction. It might be possible to use a high power source, like a laser, on a small amount of material to get fusion to occur. But we are still experimenting with this in the Tokamak, and it's far from being a done deal. Stars are, in general, massive nuclear fusion reactors. Their constant consumption of fuel powering their high rate of fusion creates a massive amount of energy, and the stars' huge gravity keeps this process from blowing the whole thing apart. No fission is needed to sustain this reaction.
What planet has energy created by nuclear fusion?
the only planet that is known to make nuclear power at this point is earth.
Which part of the newborn star does fusion occur?
In all stars, the fusion only occurs in the inner core.
