Was uranium formed in the Earth?
Uranium is not made on the earth. Uranium and the majority of the other elements (excepting H, He, Be, Li, transuranium elements) are formed after the big-bang (creation of the universe) by stellar nucleosynthesis.
How is uranium acquired?
Uranium is extracted from the earth by mining; after this it is processed by chemical/metallurgical procedures.
Is uramium combustible?
Any element is combustible we will find Uranium oxide on the earth. i.e uranium is combustible
Has Uranium changed over time?

What are the positive and negative effects of uranium?
Disadvantages of uranium: 1. Uranium is a possible polluting agent of the natural environment. 2. Uranium is a toxic and a radioactive chemical element. 3. Uranium release radium and radon. 4. Radioactive wastes are dangerous and need to be isolated. Any good effect for the environment.
What is a negative aspect of uranium?

Was uranium created with the earth and will it run out?
Uranium was created in the early stages of the universe by stellar nucleosynthesis. Uranium cannot be lost from the earth.
Why wasn't uranium formed when the earth was formed?
Uranium is formed by nuclear synthesis in supernovas and at the 'big bang'. When the earth formed Uranium became a part of the forming earth.
Is uranium extraced from the earth?
Of course, from minerals containing uranium.
Is uranium sustainable?
Years after years uranium also will run out of the earth.
