Seismicity on Tidally Active Solid-Surface Worlds [EPA]

http://arxiv.org/abs/1811.06536


Tidal interactions between planets or stars and the bodies that orbit them dissipate energy in their interiors. The energy dissipated drives internal heating and a fraction of that energy will be released as seismic energy. Here we formalize a model to describe the tidally-driven seismic activity on planetary bodies based on tidal dissipation.
