Several geological evidences, such as tidal rhythmites and bivalve
shells, allow to track back the evolution paths of both the major
semiaxis of the Moon's orbit and the Earth's spin rate. However, the
data is scarce and with large uncertainty and the orbital evolution of
the Moon is still controversial. The aim of this work is to evaluate how
significant could have been the effect of bodily tides on the Earth's
mantle thermal evolution. To this end, different thermal models of the
Earth's interior were proposed. We explore plate tectonics and stagnant
lid regimes. These models take into account both tidal and radiogenic
heat sources. In order to compute tidal dissipation, we made use of
three realistic rheological models of Earth mantle and proposed three
different dynamical evolution paths for the lunar major semiaxis and
terrestrial length of day. It was found that the impact of tidal
interaction could have been specially appreciable on the first hundreds
million of years of the Earth's history, provided that the mantle was at
a higher temperature. In addition, we found that thermal evolution of
Earth's interior is mainly controlled by the rheological behavior of the
mantle, which controls the amount of tidal heat produced, and by the
dynamical evolution of the Earth-Moon system.
