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?
The chemical and physical properties of uranium remain unchanged. But because uranium is a radioactive element the quantity of uranium on the earth is permanently changed due to radioactive decay.
If 5 grams of oxygen combines with 37.2 grams of uranium to form uranium oxide how many grams of the oxide are formed?
32,895 g of triuraniumoctaoxide (U3O8).
Is uranium commonly found?
Uranium concentration in the earth crust: ca. 2,5 ppm (mg/kg) Uranium concentration in the sea water: ca. 3 ppb (micograms/kg)
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.
Was uranium formed when the earth was formed so it will never run out?
No and no. Uranium was formed before the Earth formed. Even the uranium that's IN the Earth was formed before the Earth was formed, by the process of stellar nucleosynthesis. Also, the most stable isotopes of uranium do have very long half-lives, but they are still radioactive, meaning that they eventually will decay into other materials.
Simplified explanation of the formation of uranium in the earths' surface?
Uranium was not formed on the earth but in the stars by stellar nucleosynthesis.
What is uranium formed into?
Uranium is formed in the world by stellar nucleosynyhesis.
How is uranium nuclear formed?
Uranium is formed in the universe by stellar nucleosynyhesis.
How is raw uranium formed?
As many other chemical elements uranium was formed by stellar nucleosynthesis.
Is uranium part of the stair steps?
Uranium is formed by stellar nucleosynthesis.
What element is formed after beryllium?
uranium
Is Earth's mantle composed of uranium?
Uranium is only one of the components of the earth mantle.
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.
Is uranium formed from many living organisms?
Any link of uranium with the living organisms.
Is same product formed in fission of uranium 235?
After the nuclear fission of uranium-235 many fission products (other elements) are formed.
