Also the radius of the moon is about 3.7 times smaller than Earths radius

the mass of the moon, this increases the tidal effect on the moon. When
you take all this into account what you get is very small tides on the
moon, but they do exist.

They>re "very" small. How do they compare to the rock tides on Earth?
Are they "a lot smaller than that"?

rock tides but this doesn>t seem to be the case. I will let others

The tidal flexing, as you call it, only affects the Earth>s
oceans. It is
far too puny to affect the landmass. The Earth has no tidal
effect on the
Moon, since its rotational period coincides with its orbital
period. No
flexing there, Guthball

Technically speaking, the moon has a "static tide". Although some
might say
that is an oxymoron. However, there is a still a tidal potential
that
affects the moon and therefor a tide, static or not.

But indeed, since the tide is static there is no flexing, hence
no heating

I>ve snipped stuff that doesn>t make sense leaving one reasonable

Isn>t Earth a relatively small and extensively fluid planet for
having
such a substantial moon that can measurably tidal flex the crust of
Earth by as much as 55 cm?

Indeed. I didn>t say the moon isn>t distorted by tides. It is.

By while the earth is rotating, the moon always shows the same face to
the
Earth; hence dissipation due to the lunar tide raised by the Earth
should be very small.

The lunar tide due to the Sun would probably cause more dissipation,
but
it will still be small.

Sorry.. the discussion above was about the moon. And thats what I
was talking about.


btw, what else other than tidal flex derived energy has been heating
Io to such an extent?

beats me. I was talking about the moon.

Stuart

Fine and dandy. By how many terawatts per each and every hour is our
Selene/moon tidal flex heated by way of the solar gravity plus mainly
that of Earth>s elliptical distance from the moon (similar to Io that
also has no spin and far less elliptical orbit)?

Our forgetful Brad has forgotten that he presented exactly those figures
a few days ago.

Selene/moon L1, as such we>d likely know this one down to the +/-

Our whiny Brad thinks that space probes can magically measure the tidal
heating of our moon simply by being on our moon, even though the vast
temperature differences between night and day on our month-long-day moon
are vast.

Perhaps those â€fold mountains†are the exact same as what created
those pesky Antarctic mountains that haven’t measurably eroded, and
otherwise responsible for the total lack of Arctic mountains. Perhaps
the Arctic ocean basin is the antifold or navel innie fold of mother
Earth (aka passage to the center of Earth).

Seems without a rather sizable impact for having created much of what
the Arctic ocean basin represents, having set much of our seasonal
tilt and having slightly modified Earth’s spin, that much of this
planet would be a whole lot smoother and loads cooler.

The tidal flexing, as you call it, only affects the Earth>s
oceans. It is
far too puny to affect the landmass. The Earth has no tidal
effect on the
Moon, since its rotational period coincides with its orbital
period. No
flexing there, Guthball

Technically speaking, the moon has a "static tide". Although
some
might say
that is an oxymoron. However, there is a still a tidal
potential
that
affects the moon and therefor a tide, static or not.

But indeed, since the tide is static there is no flexing, hence
no heating

I>ve snipped stuff that doesn>t make sense leaving one reasonable
question.

Isn>t Earth a relatively small and extensively fluid planet for
having
such a substantial moon that can measurably tidal flex the crust
of
Earth by as much as 55 cm?

Indeed. I didn>t say the moon isn>t distorted by tides. It is.

By while the earth is rotating, the moon always shows the same face
to
the
Earth; hence dissipation due to the lunar tide raised by the Earth
should be very small.

The lunar tide due to the Sun would probably cause more
dissipation,
but
it will still be small.

Stuart

The tidal forced heating that I>m talking about is primarily that of
Earth being heated by that of our unusually large, nearby and fast
moving Selene/moon, and it>s by no means as insignificant as you>d
care to suggest.

Sorry.. the discussion above was about the moon. And thats what I
was talking about.

btw, what else other than tidal flex derived energy has been heating
Io to such an extent?

beats me. I was talking about the moon.

Stuart

Fine and dandy. By how many terawatts per each and every hour is our
Selene/moon tidal flex heated by way of the solar gravity plus mainly
that of Earth>s elliptical distance from the moon (similar to Io that
also has no spin and far less elliptical orbit)?

Our forgetful Brad has forgotten that he presented exactly those figures
a few days ago.

I was speaking of Earth being tidal flex heated by our Selene/moon, by
at least .05% of the 2e20 N worth of tidal radius force that>s
continually taking place. How much more or less were you thinking
it>s worth?
[/quote]
Our clueless Brad thinks force directly creates heat and that the
insignificant work done by that force, when converted to heat, is
significant.

[quote]If we had that platform of science instruments situated within the
Selene/moon L1, as such we>d likely know this one down to the +/-
megawatt, if not better.

Our whiny Brad thinks that space probes can magically measure the tidal
heating of our moon simply by being on our moon, even though the vast
temperature differences between night and day on our month-long-day moon
are vast.

Are you suggesting that our Selene/moon L1 is a total waste of space,
that which our science should continually ignore for their own good?
[/quote]
Our preposterous Brad loves to leap to ludicrous delusions.

[quote]Are you suggesting that our Selene/moon and Earth somehow manage to
interactively exchange/cause nothing worth of tidal flex heating?
[/quote]
Our idiotic Brad expresses interest in egregious extremes.

[quote]If so, do tell what>s keeping the likes of Io and any number of other
moons so freaking active instead of being of solid dry-ice or that of
just about any kind of ice except water ice?
[/quote]
Something having to to with our large Jupiter being large.

[quote]How about Titan, with its robust atmosphere: What>s keeping Titan
from freezing itself solid by night, if not via tidal flex heating?
[/quote]
Something having to to with our large Jupiter being large.

[quote]Are Saturn and Jupiter all that IR worthy?
[/quote]
Infrared?

[quote]Are you suggesting that such active moons have a core of thorium?
[/quote]
Our silly Brad is jumping to unwarranted conclusions.
