...modes of deformation cause internal friction, which heats the interior of the satellite. So, even in a synchronously rotating satellite tidal heating can continue, though at a much slower rate than for a rapidly rotating satellite. The rate of tidal heating’s negligible within the Moon, but it does account for the geological activity in most of the satellites of the...
