The question is incomplete but i will try to answer it to the best of my ability.

Answer:

See explanation

Explanation:

A nuclear power plant operates by a chain reaction. A nuclear power plant usually uses a uranium fuel. The fissile isotope of uranium is U-235.

This reaction is a chain reaction in the sense that the neutrons produced bombard more uranium atoms leading to a self-sustained chain reaction. Control rods and moderators are used to keep the chain reaction under control.

The equation of the chain reaction is depicted in the image attached to this answer.

Which phenomena help form Earth’s magnetic field? Check all that apply.

ANEK [815]

Group of answer choices.

A. Weather on Earth's surface

B. Rotation of Earth on its axis

C. Metal liquifying in the inner core

D. Revolutions of Earth around the Sun

E. Rock solidifying in the outer mantle

F. Motion of metal in Earth's outer core

Answer:

B. rotation of Earth on its axis.

F. motion of metal in Earth's outer core.

Explanation:

The phenomena which help form Earth’s magnetic field includes;

I. Rotation of Earth on its axis.

Earth rotation can be defined as the amount of time taken by planet earth to complete its spinning movement on its axis.

This ultimately implies that, the rotation of earth refers to the time taken by earth to rotate once on its axis. One spinning movement of the earth on its axis takes approximately 24 hours to complete with respect to the sun.

II. Motion of metal in Earth's outer core.

When planet earth spins on its own axis, the iron found within a liquid outer core moves around which typically gives rise to powerful electrical currents to be generated inside the liquid iron.
