The prevailing view that radioactive decay is the major thermal
source for the interior of the planet may create limitations in
geophysical modeling efforts. New theoretical insights by
Gregori 2002 [1] provide for an electrical source from the coremantle-
boundary (CMB) by a tide-driven (TD) geodynamo
which is enhanced by various solar induction processes. Joule
heating at density boundaries within the upper mantle and base
of the lithosphere from CMB electrical emanations may provide
some of the hotspot energy for upper mantle melts and
associated magmatism driving seafloor spreading and
lithospheric rupture. Estimates of the total budget of the
endogenous energy of the Earth supporting the electrical hotspot
hypothesis are as follows [1].
