  2. Tidal heating - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tidal_heating

    Munk & Wunsch (1998) estimated that Earth experiences 3.7 TW (0.0073 W/m 2) of tidal heating, of which 95% (3.5 TW or 0.0069 W/m 2) is associated with ocean tides and 5% (0.2 TW or 0.0004 W/m 2) is associated with Earth tides, with 3.2 TW being due to tidal interactions with the Moon and 0.5 TW being due to tidal interactions with the Sun. [3] Egbert & Ray (2001) confirmed that overall ...

  3. Line art - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Line_art

    Line art emphasizes form and drawings, of several (few) constant widths (as in technical illustrations), or of freely varying widths (as in brush work or engraving). Line art may tend towards realism (as in much of Gustave Doré 's work), or it may be a caricature , cartoon , ideograph , or glyph .

    Figure 2. Eigenvalue ε of wave modes of zonal wave number s = 1 vs. normalized frequency ν = ω/Ω where Ω = 7.27 × 10 −5 s −1 is the angular frequency of one solar day. Waves with positive (negative) frequencies propagate to the east (west). The horizontal dashed line is at ε c ≃ 11 and

  5. Internal heating - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Internal_heating

    Internal heat is the heat source from the interior of celestial objects, such as stars, brown dwarfs, planets, moons, dwarf planets, and (in the early history of the Solar System) even asteroids such as Vesta, resulting from contraction caused by gravity (the Kelvin–Helmholtz mechanism), nuclear fusion, tidal heating, core solidification (heat of fusion released as molten core material ...

  6. Tidal heating of Io - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tidal_heating_of_Io

    Io's shape changes as it completes its orbit. (C) Earth's moon's orbit is actually more eccentric than Io's, but Earth's gravity is much weaker than Jupiter's, so Earth's moon does not experience as much deformation. [1] Tidal heating of Io (also known as tidal working) occurs through the tidal friction processes between Jupiter and its moon ...

  7. Tide - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tide

    The standard procedure to counteract tidal effects on navigation is to (1) calculate a "dead reckoning" position (or DR) from travel distance and direction, (2) mark the chart (with a vertical cross like a plus sign) and (3) draw a line from the DR in the tide's direction. The distance the tide moves the boat along this line is computed by the ...

  9. Dynamo theory - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dynamo_theory

    This is known as tidal heating, and it helps keep the interior in a liquid state. A liquid interior that can conduct electricity is required to produce a dynamo. Saturn's Enceladus and Jupiter's Io have enough tidal heating to liquify their inner cores, but they may not create a dynamo because they cannot conduct electricity.
