This process generates heat in the viscous magma as it is flows between grains of solid rock, but it also heats the solid rock as the partially molten rock mixture compacts due to tidal forces, squeezing out magma in the process.

We consider how Io generates heat by modelling the circulation of molten rock within the moon as it is squashed and squeezed by Jupiter's gravity field.
