The data highlights how tidal heating— a constant push and pull of gravity—creates immense internal friction, driving Io’s intense volcanic activity. Jupiter in close up, as seen by NASA’s ...

It produces no direct carbon emissions or pollution and so can help minimise global heating. Setting up tidal barrages uses large amounts of concrete and this contributes to carbon emissions.

The paper, by L.J. Ruiz-Jonesat Stanford University in Pacific Grove, CA, and colleagues was titled, 'Tidal heat pulses on a reef trigger a fine-tuned transcriptional response in corals to ...
