Default Magma from the Tidal Forces of the Moon

.......Is it possible tidal forces from the moon give us Magma? Magma
is
considered to be a mystery right now......

Him/her for one. I don't think my 10 year old has a good bead on it
either. Maybe the OP is 10 years old as well? ;-)
Read this:

and then we'll only have to worry about the 10 year olds :-)

Yes.

A highly dynamic core of thorium should keep Earth's innards up to
temperature for quite some time.

However, 2e20N/sec of tidal force associated with holding onto our
Selene/moon is not exactly insignificant.

Earth is 98.5% fluid, and the Selene/moon tidal force dose tend to
move Earth's innards about.

Well, by me for one. It's a mystery why my new Nextel work cell phone
has a hideous orange magma wallpaper by default. Ugh.
