Suppose three neutrons are released when an atom in a sample of fissionable nuclei undergoes fission. Each of these neutrons has

enough energy to cause another fission reaction in another nucleus of the material. If the reaction is not controlled, how many atoms will have undergone fission after 2 more stages of the chain reaction?

Answer:

13 nuclei

Explanation:

From the question, the fission of one nucleus produces three neutrons which causes  more nuclei to undergo fission.

This implies that, after the first fission, three neutrons cause three nuclei to undergo fission. The three nuclei that underwent fission produces nine neutrons which causes the fission of nine nuclei.

All together we the number of nuclei that underwent fission as;

1 + 3 + 9 = 13 nuclei.

The weathered debris in deserts consists mainly of
vampirchik [111]

Answer;

C. unchanged rock and mineral fragments

Explanation;

A large number of landforms and features found in desert environments are formed as the result of weathering. Weathering is defined as the breakdown and deposition of rocks by weather acting in situ

The two main types of weathering which occur in deserts are Mechanical weathering, which is the disintegration of a rock by mechanical forces that do not change the rock's chemical composition and Chemical weathering, which is the decomposition of a rock by the alteration of its chemical composition.

By contrast much of the weathered debris in deserts has resulted from mechanical weathering. Chemical weathering, however, is not completely absent in deserts. Over long time spans,clays and thin soils do form.
