and silica combined spheres (“green glass spherules”) that researchers

““They concluded the moon>s mantle has between 260 and 700 ppm of
water. "This is very surprising, because for 40 years people have
studied lunar rocks and no one found any water," says Saal. "We got
lucky."”

I can accept this mainstream deductive interpretation, because
sufficient geode sequestered remains of moon water shouldn>t be all
that unlikely, especially if our Selene/moon had come to us as an icy
proto-moon from the Sirius star/solar system that had lost 4+ solar
mass from its recent red giant phase, or perhaps even from our own icy
Oort cloud (similar to Sedna and our binary Plutos).

-

In addition to however potentially wet or brine worthy the interior of
our Selene/moon could very well be, it’s also the most likely and the
primary factor of global warming Earth, but only as of the last ice-
age this planet w/moon is ever going to see.

What is the Selene/moon tidal flex heating of Earth? (117.68e3 tw.h)

If the likes of Io and most other moons of Jupiter and Saturn are
mainstream science accepted as getting tidal flex heated in addition
to whatever’s the atomic/thorium core reactions taking place, whereas
then it stands to good enough peer replicated reasoning that our
elliptical orbiting Selene/moon with its ongoing average * 2e20 N/sec
(2.04e19 kgf/sec) * of orbital tidal force is unavoidably receiving
from as well as contributing to the internal and surface heating of
our extremely fluid Earth.

Upon this terrestrial Earth, at the surface we seem have these fully
mainstream accepted sorts of basic force to energy conversions to work
with.

1 kgf.m.s = 9.80665 Joules
1 kgf.m.s = 9.295e-8 therm
1 kgf.m.s = .00980665 kj
1 kgf.m.s = 2.72407e-6 kw.h
1 kgf.m.h = 9.80655e-3 kw.h

Of the 2e20 N divided equally between the Earth and our Selene/moon,
if we took 50% of this hourly tidal force as converted into geothermal
energy of kw.h, we’d get 2.04e19 / 2 * 9.80655e-3 = 11.768e16 kw.h
(117.68e15 kw.h or 117.68e6 tw.h).

How about our taking just a highly conservative 0.1% of that, which
gets us all the way down to the dull tidal flexing roar of just
117.68e3 terawatt hours worth of continuous geothermal heating via
tidal flex. Surely our absolutely impressive Selene/moon with its
fairly robust ratio to Earth is worth at least 0.05% of the 2e20 N/
sec, of which offers * 117.68e3 tw.h * in tidal flex heating (aka
global warming and perhaps loads of geophysical flex morphing) seems
likely, as after all, that’s 230 w/m2 (excluding vertical terrain
factors) but otherwise it’s not very much applied energy per cubic
meter of Earth’s volume (1.084e21 m3 [excluding our wet atmosphere])
is worth merely 108.56e-6 w/m3.

To be including the volume of our wet and otherwise polluted
atmosphere that’s also getting tidal flex heated, we get down to
roughly 100 micro watt/m3. This isn’t to say that humanity hasn’t
gone out of its way in order to having measurably contributed to our
global warming.

I know this seems like a lot of ongoing energy, but then I can>t say
with any certainty if it>s equally divided between our Selene/moon and
Earth or somehow getting nullified. Perhaps nearly 100% of that tidal
flex is actually going directly into Earth, minus whatever is taken up
by our sun. The older than Earth Selene/moon itself seems rather
thick crusted and by thus kind of tidal morph/flex inert, so that
perhaps not much of this mutual tidal radius force is likely morphing
or flexing all that much of Selene>s innards, and especially so
because there>s no Selene spin in relationship to Earth for whatever
tidal flex to interact with, though just having a little elliptical
orbit consideration might be enough to keep Selene’s low density
interior from ever turning solid.

If you perceive or explicitly insist that I’ve incorrectly calculated
any this, as having over/under shot the mark, then simply give this
your best swag and offer your improved or more correct rendition of
this unavoidable geothermal heating via tidal flexing.

Hagar, Hagar, Hagar. There>s more to tidal flexology and crust
morphology than oceans. Earth is at least 98.5% fluid to the likes of
tidal flexing everything from our atmosphere to the very core of
Earth. Of what>s essentially solid about Earth is kept in motion due
to solar and moon tidal flex.

I agree that Earth>s tidal flex on behalf of morphing our Selene/moon
is limited as to the elliptical lunar orbit factor and of the very
gradual interactions with our sun and Earth, and otherwise not of
anything all that significant from Earth>s spin.

Obviously the moon itself isn>t causing tidal flex upon its interior
due to spin, because it has no spin with relation to Earth, and only a
very slow rate of spin in relation to our sun.

So, perhaps that leaves the vast bulk of the 2e20 N/sec of tidal force
as primarily affecting Earth. The question remains; how much of that
2e20 N/sec becomes tidal flex worthy of terrestrial geothermal or that
of global warming energy?

If the interior of our Selene/moon is of low density and perhaps even
partly that of a mineral brine or mud, as such it should be getting a
little tidal flex heated by way of the gravity interactions with our
Sun and the elliptical orbit of Earth.

"It exists" is merely an inconsequential little truth. Perhaps you could
calculate just how much heating it causes. You gave us a figure a while
back about the rate at which the Earth-moon dynamic system loses energy
to heat. It should be pretty straightforward to apply that to a ballpark
estimate of the Earth>s specific heat (I>ll even grant you the leeway to
apply the heat to the rocky parts of the Earth rather than the oceans)
and derive a rate of heating. How many K per million years does this
work out to?

Once you>ve done that calculation, you can try it with just the Earth>s
oceans as the repository of "all that" energy. That should be pretty
easy too. 3/4 of the Earth>s surface is water, the water is a depth, on
average of a few kilometers, and the specific heat of water is 1.

I wasn>t making any claims about the effects of earth tides, I was merely

Good point. Is there a perigee/apogee effect as well I wonder? (similar to
the effect on the Jovian moons)

Yes there is a perigee/apogee effect but that is one of the components of
libration, so it isn>t "as well". The moon is a little egg shaped because
of the tidal effect. When it gets closer to Earth it gets more egg shaped
and when it goes further from Earth it gets more spherical.
